Thread: Re: Debt Collection Services - a debt collection agency

Just had a look on the 'net and can't find anything relating to the postcodes. However, Lewis Group PLC and Welcome Financial Services use the 70 Buchanan Street address.

Hope this helps

I would like to know if they are still trading and if not when they ceased and also if anyone knows if they are/where registered for Data Protection/CCA purposes.

Any info greatly appreciated!

Regards, Pam

Same name and they are in Yorkshire
