How to Stop of Bristow and Sutor Fast

Despite a sound financial plan, you can accumulate debt for various reasons. Familiar debt sources include council tax, overpaid housing benefits, rent arrears, and parking fines. Unfortunately, overdue debt attracts a collection agency like Bristow and Sutor.

Collection agencies can report your debt to credit bureaus affecting your credit score.

Is Bristow and Sutor a Scam?

Bristow and Sutor is a debt collection agency regulated by the Civil Enforcement Association. They specialise in local debt recovery and can be on your case if you have outstanding council tax, parking fines, or non-domestic rates. They are not a scam but, as is with debt collection agencies, they might overstep their boundaries in pressing for payment and violate the debtor’s rights.

What Happens If I Don't Pay My Debt to Bristow and Sutor?

Bristow and Sutor will proceed to collect your debt in three stages.

1. They will Issue a 7-day compliance notice to make a payment plan plus a £75 fee.
2. Before paying you a visit, you'll receive a 7-day Notice of Civil Enforcement which is considered a warning. It attracts £235, an extra 7.5% of any amount of debt above £1,500.
3. Lastly, you'll sign a Controlled Goods arrangement 7 days later. This stage attracts a £110 fee plus 7.5% of any amount of debt above £1,500.

Bristow and Sutor can sue you for failure to respond to notices or honour your promise. Subsequently, the court can authorise a direct deduction of outstanding debts and fees from your wages.

Alternative Ways to Resolve Bristow and Sutor Payment

It's advisable to contact the creditor to clarify outstanding debt. If the effort doesn't yield fruits, below are complaint resolution options:

Use ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

You can contact FCA via:
