Who is Wescot Credit Services?
Wescot Credit Services is a debt collection agency that is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
They are employed by lenders, credit companies and organisations to recover the debts that the original providers don’t have the resources to recover by their own means.
They typically collect outstanding money on behalf of large banks, credit card companies, energy, utility and telecoms providers, as well as other significantly sized organisations.
Why would they contact you?
If you owe money to a bank or for bills that you haven’t paid in full, it’s most likely Wescot Credit Services has been employed to recover what you owe.
When you get their first letter, it will show you who they are working for and the outstanding balance on your account. Whether you believe you owe the money or not, you need to contact them as requested to organise how you should manage the issue
If you don’t, they will continue to contact you in all the ways possible to begin the repayment process. If you ignore them or refuse to speak to them, they can take matters to court to force you into action.
In cases where you do owe them money, replying to their letter is the first step you should take. Hopefully, they’ll help you find ways to repay the outstanding balance in amounts that you can afford.
If you’re not sure about any of the details in their correspondence, talk to TAD. Our resident debt robot can help explain what it all means and offer you advice on what to do next.
Do you owe Wescot Credit money?
If you believe the account you are being chased to pay doesn’t apply or belong to you, then you shouldn’t have to pay.
There are several ways this can happen.
- The account could be one that applies to a previous occupant at your home
- It could have been set up by fraudulent means
- You might be a victim of mistaken identity
- The records of previous payments may have been mislaid or lost
If you think there’s a problem with any of the details of the debt, advice is available. Talk to TAD today to find out more.
How old is the debt they are collecting?
Some debts that are over a certain age can be cancelled if they conform to the correct conditions.
If you haven’t made contact or payment towards the debt for a specific length of time, then you could have what is known as a statute barred debt.
Should this be the case, the debt can be dismissed without further payment.
If you think the debt in question should be statute barred, there are things you can do. You can check your credit report to see if the debt is listed or has been paid, you can also contact them for further advice.
