What will happen if I ignore ABC Debt Recovery

If you ignore ABC Debt Recovery, even though they are a dormant company, they will likely not just leave you alone. Either another debt recovery will take the debt on, or ABC Debt Recovery will continue to send letters or/and send debt collection agencies out.

Is there anything ABC Debt Recovery Can’t Do?

ABC Debt Recovery, like all debt collection agencies, has to adhere to the Financial Conduct Authority.

They can’t threaten legal action if it is unlikely to materialise
They can’t send that look like court documents or forms.
They cant pretend to have legal powers they don’t possess (e.g. send bailiffs when they don’t have a court order)
They can’t chase you for payment when your debt is managed via a Trust Deed Scotland or IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement).

Also, they are expected to sign up to the code of conduct, which means they don’t just sign up but agree to the “spirit” of the code; this means they cannot.

Call at unreasonable times.
Contact you in a way that doesn’t meet the preferences that you’ve already agreed on
Call you at work without permission, or if you’ve asked them to stop
Discuss your debt with others
Take payments without your permission
Refuse to give you time to consider your options after you’ve contacted them or a debt advice agency for help
Pressure you into paying debt off by borrowing more money
Use language you don’t understand e.g. legal jargon or technical language
Demand payment when a statue is barred; that is, the debt is now considered too old to collect.

I have a debt letter from ABC Debt Recovery. What Should I Do?

First of all, make sure you owe the debt (you don’t want to pay a debt that you don’t even owe) a check or Experian or another credit check app to see if you have any outstanding debts.

Mortimer and Clarke (and every other debt collection) need to prove that the debt is yours; if they can’t prove it, they have to say it’s been settled.

Write them an email or letter (email is better as there is a paper trail) and ask for proof.

But don’t sign the letter; only print your name to allow the company to reconstitute the document.

Check the debt is not statute-barred; this means some debts have a time limit, and this is according to the Limitation Act 1980, the clock starts running after you’ve made the last payment.

If no payment has been made in five or six years (it will depend on the limitation period) and the creditor has not issued a CCJ, you may not have to pay, but this depends on the amount.

I can pay ABC Debt Recovery. Should I?

Yes. If you can pay them and you have made sure the debt is yours and it is less than six years old.

And you have spoken to a debt advice agency and they have advised you too.

Then go ahead and pay, this will stop calls, notifications and letters.

This will also stop the potential of furthermore severe actions, e.g Bailiffs and/or court action.
