Why Are You being called by 01619687065?
Moorcroft could call you from many different numbers. They are likely to be calling for the following reasons:
-
To collect payment – Often Moorcroft will purchase debt from creditors in bulk and at a low price. Debt collectors often buy billions of debt annually at rock bottom prices – at an average of 10p to £1! 2. For them to make the most profit from buying your debt, they need to get the debt settled early.
In order to do this, they will call you from 01619687065 almost immediately after you have received notice and request that you pay the debt in full over the phone.
In an ideal world for them, you pay the debt straight away and if not, you set up a monthly direct debit so that for Lowell, the account is dealt with at very little cost to them.
-
To gather more information – if you cannot pay Moorcroft or you refuse to arrange some form of payment with them then they are likely to request more information from you.
This requires them to do a little more digging to recover the debt such as asking to see your monthly income and expenses but also to get a better understanding of your situation so they can plan how to get paid.
Debt collectors hold the stereotype of being aggressive and brutal, and although there are laws preventing this, they are still likely to do their best to collect the debt.
To do this, they may say they’ll take court action and keep calling you from 01619687065 or writing letters until you pay up. The important thing to do is to stay calm and not collapse under the pressure.
Typical Debt Collection Process
As mentioned above, Moorcroft usually calls if you’ve missed a payment. This is completely normal, as it’s part of the initial stage of the debt collection process.
Here’s a quick table that will help you better understand the debt collector timeline. For more information and further advice, don’t forget to read our detailed guide.
Stage | Actions | What you should do: |
---|---|---|
Missing one or two small payments | Calls and letters from the debt collector asking for payment. They may enquire about reasons for missing payments. | Contact the debt collector and offer to pay what you can. If you are struggling to pay the debt, get in touch with us to explore your options. |
Missing large or multiple payments | Their contact will become more frequent, urgent, and threatening. | Contact the debt collection agency and offer to pay what you can. You may also make a complaint if you think the letters are a form of harassment. |
Debt collector visit | After a few months, if the debt is significant (£200+) you will receive notice of a debt collector visit. They have to notify you before arriving. Debt collectors cannot take anything from your home – they may only ask for payment. | If a debt collector shows up at your home, ask them to show proof of the debt and their ID through a window. Do not open your door or let them in. You can arrange a payment plan with the debt collector, but make sure to get a receipt of this. |
Court | If you still do not pay your debts to the original lender/debt collector agency, they will take you to court and either attempt to: – File a CCJ against you. – File an attachment of earnings order. – File a lawsuit against you. |
You must show up to your court date. From here, you can either dispute the debt, or the judge will likely suggest a manageable repayment plan for you. |
Remember, if you’ve missed a payment, you should contact the debt collector and offer to pay what you can. This is one of the easiest ways to stop Moorcroft from calling.
