My Debt has been sold to IMFS; what do I do now?

So you may be wondering why you weren’t aware of this transaction. When a sale is made, you agree to the terms and conditions, allowing companies to assign rights to a third party, e.g. a debt collector.

However, there is one exception. If the lender goes along with the Standards of Lending Practice and you have previously made them aware (and have proof) that you have mental health issues. The creditor should NOT have sold your debt.

You now don’t owe the money to the original creditor, and you owe the money to IMFS instead. Even if you have been paying monthly instalments on arrangements to pay, the creditor still has the right to sell the debt to companies like IMFS, unfortunately.

I have a debt management plan. What should I do?

If you have a debt management plan run by a separate company. It is best to contact them so they can switch your monthly payment to the debt collector.

If you are running your own Debt Management Plan, you will need to cancel any standing order payments that go to the original lender (the creditor) and then offer to pay the same to IMFS and ask for their payment details. This is the best way to ensure that you will pay the money every month without fail.
