How do you stop them from contacting you?

To do this, refer to the FCA rule where you can provide the debt collector with your communication preferences. 

For example, you could tell them to only communicate on the matter in writing, which Advantis would then need to respect. 

The good news is there are quite a few FCA rules that work in your favour.

These are in place to ensure debt collection agencies treat debtors with respect and don’t intimidate them. You can read about the rules from the source on this FCA page.

Can you complain about them?

Janine, our financial expert, explained that while debt collectors can contact you and 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.

We have written a complete guide on how to complain about debt collectors already. But if you want the shorter version, here it is:

Step One – complain to the debt collector directly in writing. Provide proof and evidence you made the complaint. Put a deadline to respond in the letter. 

Step Two – if you’re unsatisfied with the response or outcome, you can escalate the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. They independently review the matter and could pass down serious punishment to Advantis. It could also have a positive outcome on your debt situation.
