Let’s get started!

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?

Reasons why you were called by 03335565835

Lowell Financial could call you from several numbers. The main reasons they call people are: 

  1. To collect payment – by this point, you should have received a letter in the post from both your original creditor and Lowell Financial notifying you that the debt has been purchased or the collector has been assigned to recover your debt.

    If you are unable to pay the entire outstanding balance then often they will request that you agree to pay monthly instalments until the debt is settled.
  1. To get more information – This information will primarily 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.

Should you ignore 03335565835?

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.

Phone Calls to Door Visits – Typical Debt Collector Timeline

If you’ve been receiving calls from 03335565835 or other Lowell phone numbers, you are likely at the start of their system.

By ignoring them, you’ll eventually be escalated onto later and more uncomfortable steps.

I’ve put this simple table together to give you an idea of the average timeline that a debt collector like Lowell will follow. Check out our detailed breakdown of the debt collection timeline (with advice on each step) for more information.

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.
