If your phone has been ringing with calls from 03335565838, it seems you’ve entered the initial phase of their outreach.
The main reasons Lowell call people are:
-
To collect payment – The primary reason for Lowell’s call from 03335565838 is ultimately to get you to pay up, ideally right then over the phone. If you cannot afford to pay the total, then Lowell will suggest that you arrange an ongoing monthly instalment plan, ideally by direct debit.
-
To gather more information – Lowell will likely request more information about your situation, including a copy of your monthly budget (if you have one) illustrating your income and expenses — especially if you cannot pay. They might also like to know more about your living circumstances.
Typical Debt Collection Process
We’ve put together this simple table to provide an overview of the typical debt collection timeline. For more information on how Lowell or other debt collectors may contact you, don’t forget to check out 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. |
As you may have noticed, you could receive a call from 03335565838 if you have missed a payment. Remember, it’s important to contact the debt collector to explore your payment options.
