But don’t worry, there are ways to manage this. Let’s take a closer look at how to deal with calls from 01413750900.
Why are you being called by 01413750900?
We have a more detailed article on BPO Collections, which you can find here.
BPO Collections could call you from several numbers. They are likely to be calling from 01413750900 for the following reasons:
-
To collect payment – The primary focus of a follow-up call is for them to clearly outline your debt total and request that you pay it’s entirety by card payment over the phone.
If you cannot pay the outstanding balance in full then often they will ask that you pay monthly instalments until the debt is cleared.
-
To get more information – if you are unable to pay the debt completely, the next priority for BPO Collections is to request more information from you.
This information will mainly 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.
-
To intimidate you – When the letter sent by BPO fails to get you to pay, they will use a phone call to heap more pressure on you.
They will often do this by exaggerating the timeline of what might happen if you continue to ignore your debt by threatening to visit you at home and take you to court to settle the debt.
The average unsecured debt has increased by 25% year-on-year, rising to £13,9412, which means that debt collectors aren’t going anywhere any time soon.
Typical Debt Collection Process
The more you know the better, so being aware of the debt collection timeline can help during this process.
Please check out this related article and take a look at the table below.
| 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. |
