Who is Arrow Debt Collection?

Arrow Global is a European credit management company that deals with loans, specialist assets and debt purchasing. It is a registered business with the number 05606545. Its registered office is based in Manchester but they have offices across Europe, Ireland, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium and Italy. 

Arrow Global purchases debts from several different companies, including retail banking stores, credit card lenders, and telecommunication companies. They describe themselves as “a leading European investor and asset manager in the non-performing and non-core assets sector” You might be contacted by Capquest Debt Recovery Limited or a company owned by Arrow with a different name to pay off debt if you owe money. Carquest is part of the Arrow Group and works to recover debts in the UK.

Once they have bought these debts – for under their face value – they then chase the debtors to get them to pay, therefore, making them a profit. Capquest Debt Recovery Limited and Arrow Global state that they are dedicated to working with people who owe them money, devising repayment plans that are going to work for them both.

Why are Arrow Global Ltd on my credit report?

The reason Arrow Global is calling you is because they bought your debt from your old credit provider and think you owe them money. The reason you haven’t heard of Arrow Global before may be puzzling, but your Notice of Assignment should specify who originally held your debt.

Who Are Capquest Debt Recovery Limited?

Capquest Debt Recovery Limited is an authorised and regulated business that claims to help people get out of debt with a debt solution. However, Capquest is related to Arrow Global so you are really just agreeing to a payment plan to clear the debt with Arrow via one of their other businesses. The Arrow Global Group purchase the debt as a DCA and then Capquest arrange a way for customers to pay.

Is Arrow Debt Collectors Legitimate?

Yes – Arrow Debt Collectors are legitimate and have authority for certain credit-related regulated activities. Arrow Limited AGL is authorised to purchase debt and then chase the debtors for payment within the debt industry laws. They are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for certain debt industry activities and are part of the UK’s largest debt scene through other businesses like Capquest.

What Can Arrow Debt Collection Do?

Arrow Debt Collection can chase you for payment with calls, and letters and they might send an email or two. As they are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and adhere to the Financial Services Register, any communication must be polite and not deceitful, or they could face fines. If you do not pay, the only option for them is to take you to court.

If they prove to a judge that you owe them money, the judge can request you pay with a court order. Arrow employees cannot come to your home and repossess items.
