If Lowell appear on your credit report, it likely means they’ve bought a debt you owe.

We know this sounds concerning, but don’t worry, you’re not alone. Each month, over 170,000 people seek guidance from our website on debt issues.

In this article, we’ll:

  • Discuss why Lowell might be on your credit report.
  • Guide you on how to clear your Lowell debt.
  • Explore if you can write off some Lowell debt.
  • Provide Lowell Telecom contact details.

Research reveals that about 64% of adults feel stressed when dealing with current debt collectors1, and some of our team have even been there. So we understand how you feel.

We’re ready to provide you with useful information. Let’s explore your options and find the best way to deal with Lowell.

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.

Why is Lowell on your credit report?

Once Lowell purchases a debt you owe, they become responsible for reporting the debt to credit reference agencies. 

However, they cannot start reporting to credit reference agencies on the debt until they have sent you a Notice of Assignment letter. This is a letter to inform you that they’re now the company that owns your debt. 

If you don’t keep up repayments on the debt or miss payments as part of a payment plan, the debt collection agency could decide to record payment defaults on your credit file.

This is why we always recommend responding to debt collectors – even just to question the debt’s validity. Remember, you have the right to request proof of the debt. They have to prove it, or they can’t charge you.

How do you clear your Lowell debt?

You can contact the company to clear your Lowell debt. But if you don’t recognise the supposed debt, you can ask Lowell to prove you owe the debt first.

We have made this easier with our prove the debt letter template.

If they don’t provide you with proof of the debt and decide to take you to court for a CCJ, you can tell the judge you requested proof and nothing was returned.

Lowell proved the debt – now what?

If Lowell proved the debt, they could take you to court if you don’t pay.

With proof, it’s highly likely that a court would issue a CCJ against you, which is a court order for you to pay Lowell. 

If you don’t pay them after a CCJ has been awarded, Lowell could ask for a special warrant. This would enable debt enforcement officers to recover the debt, possibly by coming to your home and taking valuable items to be sold. 

How a debt solution could help

Some debt solutions can:

  1. Stop nasty calls from creditors
  2. Freeze interest and charges
  3. Reduce your monthly payments

A few debt solutions can even result in writing off some of your debt.

Here’s an example:


Situation

Monthly income £2,504
Monthly expenses £2,345
Total debt £32,049

Monthly debt repayments

Before £587
After £158

£429 reduction in monthly payments

Lowell Telecom on credit report – for how long?

If you have Lowell Telecom on your credit report, it will remain there for six years whether you do or don’t pay off the debt.

After six years, the record is automatically removed from your credit file. 

During the time that it’s on your report, it will be harder to get approved for credit, or you might be approved but asked to pay a higher interest rate as part of your loan or credit card.

Can you ask Lowell to remove a default?

Yes, you can ask Lowell to remove a default on your credit file.

Lowell must agree to remove the default if you can prove they have made a mistake. 

If Lowell doesn’t remove the default in good time, you can raise the issue with credit reference agencies and ask them to remove it directly instead.

But you must ask Lowell to remove it first!
