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 are you being called by 03335565564?

We have a detailed guide for Lowell Financial Debt Collectors, which you can find here.

Lowell Debt Collection call debtors from various different numbers. The main reasons they call people are:

  1. To collect payment – They are trying to collect payment on a debt that you owe swiftly and without struggle. Ideally, they want you to fulfill the entire sum of the debt right there on the spot by card payment or at least to organise ongoing monthly payments.
  2. To gather information – if you are completely unable to pay the debt, the next goal for Lowell is to attain some key information from you, including how much you earn, how much you spend, and what valuable goods you have. This information can be used down the line to recover the debt.

Large institutions like Stepchange report a 25% year-on-year rise in average unsecured debt, reaching £13,941 in 20222, which, sadly, means that being contacted by Lowell Debt Collection and other agencies will become increasingly common.

This leads us to answer the million-dollar question.

Should you ignore 03335565564?

I always recommend responding to debt collectors — even just to question the debt’s validity.

You have the right to request proof of the debt. They have to prove it, or they can’t charge you.

Your Rights with Lowell Collectors

We’ve written an extensive article on how to deal with Lowell Debt Recovery and some ways that you can stop them.

Remember, it’s important to know your rights when dealing with debt collectors to avoid being taken advantage of. Here are some of the basics you should know:

Debt Collectors Can But They Can’t
Contact you by phone or mail. Call you after 9pm or before 8am.
Conduct home visits (on rare occasions) and knock on your door. Forbily enter your home, or stay if you ask them to leave.
Threaten to take you to court by suing you for payment on a debt. Harrass you, including threats of violence, repeated calls and visits, or abusive language.
Negotiate a debt settlement. Tip: make sure to get this new arrangement in writing. Visit your workplace.
Access your bank account, but only after a court judgment has been made. Take anything from your home or threaten to do so.
Sell your debt. Speak to other people about your debt without your permission.
Contact you frequently. Keep doing so if you request that they reduce communications.

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.
