We understand how confusing and scary it can be to get a debt collection letter. After all, nearly half of the people who deal with debt collection agencies have experienced harassment or aggression¹.

Some of us have been there too. With our experience, we’ll help you learn different ways to deal with Manx Collections Limited.

Let’s dive in!

Should You Pay Manx Collections Limited?

We understand it can be quite concerning to receive letters or calls from Manx Collections Limited, especially if you don’t recognize the debt.

This is quite common, as Manx Collections Limited collects debt on behalf of other companies. You see, they typically buy billions of debt annually at rock bottom prices – at an average of 10p to £1! ²

They should inform you in the letter or call who they’re collecting the debt on behalf of.

Before you reach for your wallet, it’s crucial to request proof of the debt, as mistakes can happen.

Don’t just take their word for it; insist on seeing concrete evidence. If they can’t provide the necessary documentation, you’re not obligated to pay.

Also, it’s crucial to check if your debt is statute-barred, meaning it’s no longer legally enforceable.

Your debt is likely statute-barred if:

• It’s been at least six years since the debt originated.
• You haven’t made any payments or acknowledged the debt in the last six years.
• No County Court Judgment (CCJ) has been issued against the debt.

If these conditions match your situation, you have every right to formally inform Manx Collections Limited that your debt is statute-barred, and you can do so with a written letter.

Your Rights With Debt Collectors

People often tell us that Manx Collections Limited can be very persistent and intimidating. While this is common, it’s important to remember that they’re not permitted to harass you, regardless of the amount you owe.

Janine, our financial expert, explained that while debt collectors can visit your home for payments, they cannot come to your workplace, act threateningly, force payment, or discuss your finances with others.

If they violate these rules, you can complain.

Understanding your rights when dealing with debt collection agencies is crucial. That’s why we’ve prepared this table that explains what debt collectors can and can’t do.

What Happens If You Ignore Manx Collections Limited

If you’re unable to pay off your debt, it might seem tempting to ignore the calls and letters from Manx Collections Limited.

However, we always recommend responding to debt collectors, even if it’s just to question the validity of the debt.

Doing so can buy you time and potentially prevent further consequences.

You see, debt collectors may escalate their attempts to contact you, increasing both the frequency and intensity, which can be extremely stressful.

Also, Manx Collections Limited may take legal action against you, potentially resulting in a County Court Judgment (CCJ). This could significantly impact your credit rating, making it more challenging to borrow money in the future, as creditors may view you as a high-risk customer.

Unfortunately, once a CCJ is issued, Manx Collections Limited may resort to enforcement methods, such as bailiffs, to recover the debt.

Therefore, we advise reaching out to the debt collection agency and offering to pay what you can.

Can’t Pay Your Debt?

If you find yourself unable to pay your debts, remember—you’re not alone; some of our team members have been there too.

We understand the stress this situation can bring, but rest assured, there’s always a solution.

By reaching out to Manx Collections Limited and explaining your circumstances, they can assist in setting up a repayment plan.

When you contact them, expect questions about your income, expenses, and other debts. This information will help them create a plan that works for both parties.

Also, it’s worth exploring different debt solutions, such as a Debt Management Plan (DMP), Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), Debt Relief Order (DRO), among others.

These options can make repayments more manageable, with some even offering to freeze your debt for a year to stop creditor communications.

To choose the most suitable debt solution, we recommend seeking free advice from a debt charity. They’ll assess your situation and provide assistance.

Lastly, don’t overlook the importance of closely examining your budget.

Identify areas where you can reduce expenses to free up more funds for debt repayment. From what we’ve seen, staying organized can significantly empower you to take control of your finances.

Can You Stop Manx Collections Limited From Contacting You?

Yes!

If Manx Collections Limited debt collectors are very persistent and keep calling you, you have the right to request that they communicate with you in writing only.

Send a formal letter requesting this and keep copies for your records.

If they don’t respect your wishes or if you believe they’ve broken any of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) guidelines, you can make a complaint.

We recommend making your first complaint to Manx Collections Limited to give them the opportunity to address the issue internally.

But, if you feel that they have not taken your complaint seriously enough or have not addressed your issue properly, you can escalate matters.

You can make any secondary complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
