What Happens When You Don't Pay Your Debt to Link Financial Debt Collectors?
Link Financial Debt Collectors are very persistent. They will call you as many times as possible to ensure that you settle the debt. In the event you fail to pay, they seek other alternatives. The most common method they use is taking court action. They have ample grounds to sue you since they have enough evidence and information that you owe the creditor.
However, they should not lie, threaten or harass you in any way. If they win the court case, they can collect money from your bank account without your consent.
Outside court action, the following can happen to you:
- Your credit score goes down
- Your credit limit is lowered or put to zero
- Interest will keep accumulating on the debt
What Are Your Debt Collection Rights in the UK?
In the United Kingdom, the government protects you as a debtor. If you default/delay payments, debt collectors should not harass you. They should not threaten you with actions that they don't intend to do. The law does not provide special legal rights to debt collectors above the creditors.
Moreover, the debt collectors should not call you many times within a short period in a bid to harass you. They are restricted by the law against any illegal action against you. You should not be jailed for failure to pay a debt. The only circumstance under which you can be detained is when there is evidence that you committed fraud.
Can You Get Debt Assistance in the UK?
Yes. You can get assistance by applying for a Debt Relief Order or Bankruptcy Order. However, you have to prove that you deserve such an offer. For instance, it has to be established that you had not sold any property two years before you made the application. Secondly, the debt should be within a specific limit. Once your application is accepted, creditors cannot take legal action against you or demand any payment.
