Reasons why you were called by 03445560225
We have a more detailed article on Cabot Financial, which you can find here.
Cabot Financial could call you from multiple numbers. The main reasons they call people are:
-
To collect payment – They’re trying to get you to pay the outstanding debt over the phone and close the account and ultimately make a profit without spending much time on it. If you cannot afford to pay the lump sum, then they will suggest that you set up ongoing monthly instalments ideally by direct debit.
-
To get more information – If you cannot pay straight away, and you don’t agree to make monthly payments, then Cabot will likely request more information, including a copy of your monthly budget showing your income and expenses. They might also like to know more about your living situation and ask about any valuable possessions you may own. This is their way of developing a strategy on how to go about getting money for the debt.
- To intimidate you – By calling you from 03445560225, they can make the situation feel a lot more real, and they use that to add pressure in order to get you to pay. They may also threaten CCJs or home visits should they get the chance.
Research has shown that debt collection agencies buy billions of debt annually at rock bottom prices – at an average of 10p to £1!2. This means that Cabot Financial will pursue your debt, which is why ignoring them isn’t an option.
