eCollect Avis 59

They’re part of a network of unregistered scam companies, trying to use aggressive tactics to defraud people out of money via the use of ‘legal’ scare tactics. They work in coordination with C-Date and a so-called law firm lead by a Bulgarian named ‘Radoslav Koychev’. They’ll email you and send you threatening letter with the promise of escalation that legal proceedings will begin in earnest, but if you pay the inflated fee, this will all go away. I’ve had arbitary fee’s ranged from £150 to £745, back down to £345, to now £415. I’ll give them their due, they’re consistently inconsistent. I took the liberty to do a bit of investigation in to this judicial dunning cartel, and every financial regulating authority they have advertised on their footer with their information, they’re unsurprisingly not a member of, notedly FPS Economie in Belgium and Unirec in Italy.

So here we have company in eCollect that are supposedly based in Switzerland, whilst their mail is collected in Berlin, Germany. Operating as a registered company in Belgium and Italy, on behalf of a company such as C-Date/ Interdate S.A. based in Luxembourg, who have now outsourced their legal proceedings to a Bulgarian lawyer based in ‘Frankfurt, Germany’, none other than the legal eagle himself, with the mystical aura of Keyser Soze; Advokat Radoslav Koychev.

Just a little education piece to the personnel at eCollect; Adding inflated arbitary fees on to your unbased claims, is illegal in the UK court, especially without proof of contract. And unless you’re a registered court ordered bailiff, you certainly don’t have the authority.

If anyone is having problems with these con artists, please keep every letter and email, record every phone call and send a cease and desist letter and record that also. If your court summons ever does come to fruition (which it won’t), I’m 99% confident it’ll be thrown out at the pre-court stage because they can’t prove any contract exists and adding any extra fees is unlawful.

They send you mails telling you that you need to pay a random amount of monney (changes every mail they send, first it was 200 than it was 1000 than back to 300) and when you ask for proof they send you somthing thats made in exel in less than 10 minutes

Po prawie roku od wynajmu samochodu w Monachium firma eCollect przysłała mi list z windykacją na 245 euro za cross border fee. Nigdy wcześniej nie dostałem żadnego rachunku za tą opłatę od Europcar. Traktuję to jako oszustwo i próbę wyłudzenia. Europcar nie potwierdza zlecenia windykacji tej firmie. Przypuszczam, że to kradzież danych osobowych

Not to be trusted.

Good morning everyone.
I've read the various comments and would like to share what happened, considering that I received a letter without notification at my previous residence in another city (I've long lived in Rome). Therefore, it has no legal value, pursuant to the Italian Criminal Code, Civil Procedure Code, Civil Code, and Consolidated Law on Public Prosecutors (T.U.L.P.T.) as amended and supplemented, as required by Italian law.
I would like to point out that, at this time, it is not possible to de facto "identify" the undersigned, self-styled "Radoslav Koychev, LL.MM. Advokat," who is demanding payment of EUR 654.33 within 48 hours, with the beneficiary being "eCollect AG" via a banking institution called Baden-Wuerttembergische Bank in Stuttgart, Germany.
I would also like to point out that, at this time, it is not clear how this individual obtained my mobile number, registered in the name of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, which was regularly placed under precautionary surveillance for reasons of "national security."
However, as far as I'm concerned, this is not a problem, because the aforementioned self-styled Radoslav Koychev had the audacity to write, among other things, to an official of the aforementioned Presidency at one of my former residences. Therefore, in accordance with my official duty and in consideration of the nature of the crimes, I have taken steps to participate in the entire process. The Guardia di Finanza (Italian Finance Police) Command, competent in Italy and linked to INTERPOL for further proceedings. Currently, the CNR (National Research Council) has been consulted with the competent Public Prosecutor's Office, where, if crimes under Article 416/bis are discovered, they will proceed jointly with the D.D.A.
It is certain that if this person de facto exists, he has acquired a "serious problem," assuming no criminal conspiracy is found.
The media are informed as required by law.

Extrem ärgerliche und beunruhigende Erfahrung. eCollect hat mich über ihre offizielle Mail kontaktiert und mir mit Nachdruck mitgeteilt, dass eine offene Forderung gegen mich vorliege. Es wurde massiver Druck aufgebaut, obwohl im Vorfeld scheinbar keine vernünftige Identitätsprüfung stattgefunden hat. Kurz darauf stellte sich heraus, dass ich nicht die betroffene Person war, es wurde schlicht jemand mit meinem Namen verwechselt. Besonders schlimm: Danach kam weder eine saubere Aufklärung noch eine Entschuldigung oder irgendeine Rückmeldung. So geht man mit Menschen nicht um. Ich hatte dadurch unnötigen Stress und würde jedem raten, bei solchen Schreiben sehr genau hinzuschauen.

Scammers trying to steal money from people with scare tactics and intimidation. I was contacted by Erinn Clark, who attempted to get me to pay a fake debt. The ACCC is aware of this scam, contact them and they will go after these scumbags.

Auch wenn es seit 2014 als Inkasso in Deutschlannd registriert ist, mit rechten Dingen geht es dort nicht zu. Die selbe Rechnung wird zum Beispiel mehrfach in Rechnung gestellt, das Unternehmen ist nicht erreichbar und die Staffelung scheint willkürlich

setzen rechtlichen Druck auf, der gesetzlich nicht abgestützt ist. Auf Mail-Anfragen keine Antwort, Einschreiben per Post über 1 Woche bis Antwort. Einmaliger Mailkontakt, danach wieder Kontaktabbruch. Keine sonstige Kontaktmöglichkeit.

Scammers, liers, will not be held accountable will take this up in court.
Will not fall for there nonsense.

Ik had me half juni 2025 aangemeld bij 1 datingsite. Werd dan automatisch gelinkd met vele andere datingsites die plits allemaal automatisch geld naar hun rekening domicilieerden. Ik had alles gedeactiveerd met veel moeite ´´dacht ik´´ . Juli automatisch meer dan 400€ van mijn rekening, dus had ik alle domicilieeringen van novalnet geblokkeerd. Maar dan kwam eCollect ertussen begin augustus 680€ betalen, niet gedaan dus 3 dagen later 1680€ betalen ik aangifte gedaan bij de politie en mocht niets betalen. Ik bleef mails krijgen die ik niet heb geopend maar nu 2 oktober op 2 dagen tijd 8 brieven in mijn brievenbus gekregen alle 8 bena 400€ betalen dus in totaal iets minder dan 3200€ betalen niet normaal. Morgen terug naar politie om nog eens aangifte te doen. Ik hoop geholpen te worden. Het strafste is dat ik nog maar 3 dagen op die 1ne aangemelde site zat en direct al moest betalen en kheb sindsdien niet meer op zo´n site geweest en nooit ee date gehad en geraak gewoon niet afgemeld. Pfff echt schandalig.

betrüger !!!!Sie haben mir einen Brief geschickt, in dem es hieß, dass ich es tun sollte деньги.c-Date.de Von dem ich zum ersten Mal höre!!!Gehen Sie einfach zum Anwalt, zur Bank und zur Polizei. Überweisen Sie IHNEN kein Geld.DAS SIND KLEINE FISCHE.Sie können nur erschrecken, Lügen, Betrügen.eCollect,VENDO SERVICE GMBH!!!!.Betrüger

Same as everyone else joined a dating site soon realised it was fake and tried to delete account but could not, then I started getting threatening emails which I ignored now I'm getting threatening letters with a bigger number to pay each time, bit scary at first but the more ive read about them and their little scam I'm not arsed about it they can
send as many letters as they like they wont get a
penny from me

I was on a dating site that I tried to cancel which was impossible so I stopped the automatic payments through my credit card. I have been harassed almost weekly for the past few months by ecollect telling me I have to pay and each time it is different. They then started telling me it was going to court so today I just paid and now my bank has blocked my card for fraud!!!

This company is so unprofessional. They are Fraudulent. They try intimidation and stand over tactics. I spoke with George N (there are 2 Georges) They sent me a bill and are now trying to take me to QCAT for it, a bill that is in another person's name! (My ex husband) and contacted me via my email address. I will be suing.

FRAUD.
I rented a car from Avis in Spain last year. A month ago i received 3 letters demanding $174. Total of $550. I had received no prior communication from Avis or this debt collection service.
I wrote to them 3 times without any response. i can only assume their desire is to frighten their victims into paying these outrageous claims without investigation.
As another reviewer has noted:

Know the following;

1. eCollect is blacklisted by the ECC. The ECC's advise is simply to ignore the emails

2. To operate as a collection agency in your country they need to apply and register through official channels to do so. This is a lengthy and costly process which only major companies can afford. eCollect is not one of them .

3. They are banned in some countries. A good example is Belgium. Look it up!

4. If you need help to formulate a response in kind there's a template at ECC's website.

5. You also get free legal advice through the ECC network. Find your country and contact information at the ECC website.

Its also of interest to note that their 5 star reviews are all made by Australians with mostly a single review to their name.

AVOID both eCollect.online and AVIS Spain.

Ich habe mehrfach aufgrund einer nachweislich unberechtigten Forderung Widerspruch eingelegt, per Briefpost und E-Mail.

Keine Reaktion. Stattdessen wird weiter eine Drohkulisse aufgebaut. Okay, dann muss ich denen halt juristisch den A**** aufreißen.

Scam
I tried a number times cancelling a dating app, overpaid, and now i get an email from this "collection company" threatening me

eCollect is tegen alle regels van FOD Financiën actief in Belgie, zonder daartoe de nodige vergunning te hebben.
Zie inschrijving schuldvorderaar in Belgie van de FOD

Zogenaamd acteren ze vanuit Baar in Zwitserland, maar als je verder gaat zoeken dan kom je uit op een adres in Essen, dat toevallig ok het adres is van van een advokatenbureau T&D Rechtsanwälte GbR, dat hun zaken behartigd, zonder dat ze met bewijzen komen om hun zogenaamde claims te bewijzen.

This is a fake company, I joined a online dating thing and realised it was a scam too late and there wasn’t a way to cancel the membership so I pulled my details so they can’t charge me any extra and emailed asking to cancel with no response. No I get a letter every few months saying the charge went from £30 to the record £973.34 and is different everytime. Don’t pay them and block them.
