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?

This isn’t a full fact find. MoneyNerd doesn’t give advice. We work with The Debt Advice Service who provide information about your options.

Reasons why you were called by 03335565847

We have a dedicated article on Lowell Financial, which you can find here.

Lowell Financial could call you from multiple numbers. The main reasons they call people from 03335565847 are: 

  1. To collect payment – Lowell will try to make you claim ownership of the debt and request that you make a card payment over the phone to cover the debt. If you’re unable to pay the entire balance, Lowell Financial will request that you agree to pay monthly instalments until the balance is zero.
  2. To get more information – if you maintain that you are unable to pay the debt in any form, then the second priority for Lowell Financial is to request more information from you. This information will mostly 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.

The easiest way to stop Lowell Financial from calling you is by paying what you can. Don’t forget that debt collectors are not allowed to harass you. If necessary, you can make a complaint.

However, check that you are liable for the debt before you pay it. In our experience, not enough people verify debts before they pay off intimidating debt collectors – sometimes you are chased for debts that you don’t have to pay.

Typical Debt Collection Process

If you’re receiving calls from 03335565847, don’t worry; it’s completely normal. This is the first stage of the debt collection process.

We’ve put together this table to help you better understand the debt collector timeline and to be aware of what may happen if you don’t pay.

If you want to learn more or require additional advice, please check out our specialized 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.

Should you ignore 03335565847?

We 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.

You should watch this video to understand the debt collection process so that you are more prepared if Lowell try to get in touch.
