Discreetly and confidentially talk to you about the debt
Set up a monthly paying arrangement
Ask you a payment

Debt Collectors Cannot:

Visit you at your workplace
Act in a threatening or intimidating way or cause a disturbance
Force their way into your house OR refuse to leave
Take any of your belongings or clamp your vehicle
Impersonating an enforcement officer or bailiff (this is actually illegal)
Speak to neighbours, family, colleagues or friends regarding the debt

What Are The Next Steps?

If you don’t think you owe the debt or it has been given to you in error. Gather any correspondence you have had with the creditor; this includes all letters and emails. Also, try and get any bank statements that prove that you have paid the creditor. This can be used as evidence if it gets taken to court.

It is common to be contacted by a number you do not recognise, such as 01415704152.

Please write to the creditor regarding the debt and ask them to prove the debt is, in fact, yours. If they can’t or refuse to prove it, you may not have to pay.

If they can prove it or you are sure the debt is yours, contact the debt collector to start a monthly payment if you can afford it.

HOWEVER, the first thing to do is contact our friendly and understanding team for knowledgeable financial and legal advice.
