This is the OFT'S veiw.........

 

The debt collector should:

 

• use language you understand

• contact you at reasonable times

• only come into your home if you have invited them to

• tell you the time and date that they will visit you

• during a visit, leave your property if you ask them to

• when sending you a letter, include clear information about who they are and why they

are contacting you as well as the process that they are legally allowed to take to get

the money that you owe

• provide you with information on your debt, such as the amount you owe

• if you ask for it, provide you with more information about your debt, such as what

your original agreement was, and if there were any changes made to it later.

For more information on how to request information on your credit or hire agreement

see the OFT advice guide.

 

The debt collector should NOT:

 

• contact you if you have asked them to speak to someone representing you

• visit you at inappropriate places such as your work, unless you have told them they

can

• harass you by calling you frequently or making threatening statements or gestures

• send you letters that do not clearly let you know who they are and why they are

contacting you

• pressure you into selling property or borrowing money in order to pay your debt

• pressure you into paying in full or in large instalments

• pressure you to increase your payments to more than you agreed to in your

repayment plan

• add collection charges to your debt, unless you agreed to this with the people you

borrowed the money from (any amount they charge you should be based on actual

costs caused by the collection of your debt)

• threaten to give the details of your debt to others unless they are allowed to by law

or tell you that they can take legal action when they actually cannot

• make you think that they are bailiffs.

 

Debt collectors do not have the same legal

power as bailiffs and cannot force their way into your home or seize your

possessions.

 

If you have a complaint about the debt collector the Financial Ombudsman Service may

be able to help.
