They take ur money and keep it, run away from these people Reviewed on: 11th April 2025

Thieves

I approached AYOM in later 2019 to recover a debt and belongings from my ex fiancé Their representative attended my home and showed him documentation that supported my case. He reassured me that my case was solid and that AYOM would have no trouble recovering my money to the the point of the Debtors bankruptcy if necessary He left a contract and emailed me proposal. I explained that based on previous case of mine back in 1995 I was hesitant I was then pestered with calls and e-mails from the representative and agreed to pay £3800 in advance. AYOM wrote to the debtor and made numerous phone calls without success which resulted in the debtor reporting them and myself to the police The AYOM representative explained that this was a common course of action by debtors and would not push them off? The police investigation concluded with no evidence I requested AYOM take further steps for recovery but they explained they were too busy with home visits and had postponed all such activities We then entered lockdown and I have called AYOM numerous times and had no funds and action by themselves other than on one occasion a representative of their company called me and asked to to remove my Trustpilot review on the reassurance that she would investigate matters I never heard anything Trust Pilot have removed three previous reviews of AYOM by myself?

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! TOTAL SCAM!!

Please, I urge you please not to use this company. They get you to hand over money straight away with no mention about their T's & C's AYOM just tell you that they can get you the debt with no problem at all. I paid £1100 and it's turned out into nothing more than a bet! Because that's all it is. I am going to take these guys to the small claims court to get my money back. You can't ring them up and if you do you just get told off for ringing up. Also takes them 14 working days to reply to emails. The customer portal is vaguest piece of information gathering ever..a complete waste of time! AYOM don't even tell you about the 90 days holding perod for your money. They say it's to prevent charge backs but it's not it's all about them getting more money off the intrest they earn of that money. You get suckered in because you are told straight away that they can get this debt and you think great its an easy win! But this couldn't be any further from the truth. Like I say please avoid at all costs Reviewed on: 7th September 2022

Are you owed money? - you will be, by AYOM

Following a 90 days period after collection AYOM customer service are unable to tell me when I will get paid and the finance department do not reply. It's been 120 days now since they collected money and I have not seen a penny of it with no communication when I will other than "the finance department have not replied to us" This is un unethical company that hold on to money collected as long as they possibly can (and I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here that I will eventually get my money back - avoid.

Total Scam?

Unfortunately in the same boat as many others and not a penny received despite assurances that our customer is paying up and that a cheque is on its way. Please avoid. Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Avoid this company is a scam.

I get in touch with this company last year in July due one of my clients didn't pay my last invoice, at the moment that I called they immediately ask me to pay instantly the fee that they have, and I did. After 1 month the creditor paid the invoice and received a confirmation for the payment, at this point, you think wow all done, fantastic, so fast, and professional. Wrong, at the same moment, start my Odissea with this company, First, they told me that I have to wait up to 90days to get my money, and I did, after 3 months they told me that my check was in progress of payment ( November 2021 ) So I waited, in December I called and they said that the payment was due by the end of the month. In January I called again and nobody was able to give me an explanation why I haven't received my check. In February same, called and get a new excuse, sorry we missed the payment date, you will receive the check on the next payment date, Now is the 14 of March and after another call the new excuse, sorry we got the postcode wrong, we will send the correct information to the financial team, Basically, 6 months 20 emails 30 calls And nothing has changed, So if you need someone to chase up your creditors for any reason, don't get in touch with this company, is a scam, the taking your payment immediately and they let you wait for months and months for giving you want is yours. Perhaps I regret the moment that I get in touch with AYOM. Reviewed on: 14th March 2022

Avoid!!

Collected a debt from our client but have failed to pay across to us despite being well over 90 days . No response from finance team with date we will actually receive the payment we are entitled too . Reviewed on: 16th December 2021

Inept and ineffective

Signed contract in June 2020, not a penny received yet they have held back monies paid by debtor beyond terms and conditions. They have not resoned to information request for several weeks. Despite inevitable 38.5% charge by AYOM I am engaging another company. Reviewed on: 7th December 2021

Don't waste any more of your money

If this company really exists do not engage with them. Full of promises and no action. Say they've written and phoned my debtor for months now but wont prove it. Complete waste of time and money. Reviewed on: 3rd October 2021
