Creditor Harassment Warning
The Financial Conduct Authority’s Consumer Credit sourcebook outlines behaviours that are classed as creditor harassment. The most common types are frequent calls and text, and intimidating threats. If you believe your creditor has been harassing you, you should make a complaint directly using our letter template before reporting them to the Financial Ombudsman.
Time Has Run out to Recover the Debt
Section 5 of The Limitations Act 1980 states that a debt can only be collected within six years. If the creditor has failed to chase you for the debt during this time, but then comes asking for the money later, you can tell them time has run out. Tell your creditor that your debt is legally unenforceable with our free letter template. You shouldn’t be asked for payment again!
