Stop Harassments From Confero Collections’ Debt Collectors

Confero Collections is one of the most established debt enforcement and recovery agencies in the UK, specializing in public sector debt recovery. Confero Collections debt collectors collect Council Tax arrears for local councils, rent arrears, and housing benefit overpayments.

The debt collector offers a revenue collection service claiming to be sensitive to individual situations. As a family-run business, Confero Collections ensures higher-than-average collection rates. This is partly due to some unfair business practices such as forceful debt recovery.

If you find yourself in the hands of Confero Collections debt collectors, ensure you are swift to respond to avoid extreme measures on their part. This article explains how DoNotPay can help you handle situations arising from your interactions with the debt collector.

Who Are Confero Collections Debt Collectors and Why Are They Calling You?

Confero Collections is a debt recovery agency relating to the public sector. One of their primary methods of communication is via phone call.

Reasons you may receive communication from Confero Collections include:

1. Road traffic debt enforcement
2. Overpaid housing benefit collections
3. Sundry debt collection
4. Collection of recycled cases

Generally, Confero Collections debt collectors can come after you for various reasons, such as:

• Repossession of vehicles
• Common Law forfeiture
• Commercial rent arrears recovery
• Pre-debt registration collection
• Enforcement of waste management cases
• Magistrate court fines
• Arrest warrants

As with any debt collector, constant communication—which can manifest in the form of frequent harassing calls—is highly annoying and quite unfair to a debtor. Unfortunately, the debt collection agencies typically take court action if the debt remains pending. If court action is taken, yet the debt largely remains uncleared, a court may empower Confero Collections bailiffs to recover assets and property to the debt's value.

Has Confero Collections Violated Your Consumer Rights?

Consumers in the UK are protected against unfair practices by businesses and debt collectors such as Confero Collections.

According to the Fair Trading Act (FTA), the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), debt recovery agencies must not:

• Contact debtors at their workplaces without permission
• Contact debtors outside the timeframe (8:00 am- 9:00 pm)
• Contact debtors via social media
• Provide misleading information like false court actions

More importantly, a debt collector isn't allowed to abuse, harass, or threaten a debtor in an attempt to recover debts. In rare though possible instances, Confero Collections bailiffs can break in (enter) your property if a magistrate issues a Liability Order on behalf of local authorities.

If you think the debt collector violated your right, you can report them to the Office of Fair Trading, which regulates debt collection agencies in the UK.

How Long Can Debt Collectors Collect a Debt From You?

According to the Limitations Act 1980, creditors are allowed six years to pursue their debt from you. However, within the six years, you must not have acknowledged the debt's existence or made any payment to the creditor. Once the period lapses without communication, the debt ceases validity, and the debt collector can no longer pursue it.
