What Happens If I Don't Pay My Debt to STA International?

If you don't contact STA International back within the set timeline, they may take legal action. They may start court proceedings to get the money that you owe them.

However, they can only do this after:

  • Send creditors to retrieve things equal to the debt's worth.
  • File a County Court decision against you.
  • Request a charging order or an attachment of the earnings order.

Alternative Ways to Resolve Customer Service Complaints

There are other ways to solve the problem if you are unhappy with the answer you got from STA International or want to make more complaints.

ADR Schemes (Alternative dispute resolutions) with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

The FCA has guidelines and regulations regarding debt collection. The FCA may deny or withdraw the business's authorization or, for example, punish the corporation, but they cannot take on your specific case.

Reminding the creditor that breaking the law could result in the termination of their FCA authorization can be worthwhile.

Financial Ombudsman Service

The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is a free, independent service for settling disagreements between customers and businesses that provide financial services.

If the company does not resolve your problem satisfactorily, you can submit a complaint to the FOS, which will investigate and decide.

The FOS will only take on your case if only you meet the following conditions:

  • You are not the person who owes the debt
  • The amount you are requested to pay is incorrect
  • The company is contacting you about the debt regularly
  • You are having financial difficulties, and the company isn't being helpful
  • Your debt obligation is not legally binding.

After filing a complaint, you should expect a response within ten days.

Small Claims Court

You can also take your case to a small claims court if you are asked to pay less than £10,000. The advantage of going to a small claims court is that it is usually quicker and cheaper than the County Court. It is also a suitable option if you do not feel comfortable representing yourself in court.
