So let’s take a deep breath and figure this out together. Let’s dive into how you can handle calls from 02920858773 and stop Link Financial debt.

Could you legally write off some debt?

There are several debt solutions in the UK, choosing the right one for you could write off some of your unaffordable debt, but the wrong one may be expensive and drawn out.

Answer below to get started.

How much debt do you have?

Why am I being called by 02920858773?

Link Financial could call you from several numbers. They are likely to be calling from 02920858773 for the following reasons:

  1. To collect payment – The primary focus of a follow-up call is for them to clearly outline your debt total and request that you pay it’s entirety by card payment over the phone. If you cannot pay the outstanding balance in full then often they will ask that you pay monthly instalments until the debt is cleared.
  2. To get more information – if you are unable to pay the debt completely, the next priority for Link Financial is to request more information from you. This information will mainly consist of the reasons you are unable to pay, including the details of your income and living expenses, alongside any details that may help them recover the debt in the future.
  3. To intimidate you – When the letter sent by Link Financial fails to get you to pay, they will use a phone call to heap more pressure on you. They will often do this by exaggerating the timeline of what might happen if you continue to ignore your debt by threatening to visit you at home and take you to court to settle the debt – both can be very traumatising.

Debt collection agencies buy billions of debt annually at rock bottom prices – at an average of 10p to £12, so it makes sense that Link Financial is trying everything in the playbook to get you to pay in order to make a profit.

How a debt solution could help

Some debt solutions can:

  1. Stop nasty calls from creditors
  2. Freeze interest and charges
  3. Reduce your monthly payments

A few debt solutions can even result in writing off some of your debt.

Here’s an example:


Situation

Monthly income £2,504
Monthly expenses £2,345
Total debt £32,049

Monthly debt repayments

Before £587
After £158

£429 reduction in monthly payments

I always recommend responding to debt collectors – even just to question the debt’s validity. Remember, you have the right to request proof of the debt. They have to prove it, or they can’t charge you.
