How Should I Respond to Letters From PO BOX 140 Normanton

If the letters are indeed addressed to you concerning an unpaid debt, you should take the following steps:

1. Look up your records to verify whether you owe the creditor the said amount. If you are unaware of the pending obligation, ask the company to provide evidence of the claims.
2. If you establish that you owe them the money, pay it if you can afford to.
3. Should the amount be more than you can handle, ask the creditor about available payment plans, such as monthly payments that you can make to clear the debt.
4. If the debt has been in existence for over six months and neither you nor the creditor has taken action in that time, then the debt should be written off. Check out the details to see whether the statute of limitations has expired.

What Should I Do if I Continue Receiving the Letters?

Debt collectors and creditors can be relentless in pursuing what's there, so much so that it sometimes causes distress to the debtor. If you agreed to make the payments to clear the debt, but the agency is sending you numerous letters, calling, or visiting you, you should take action.

For one, you could write them a complaint letter informing them to stop harassing you. You could also outline the means of communication you consider appropriate and the convenient frequency of contact.

If this does not work, you can pursue alternative channels.

1. Financial Ombudsman

You could call or write a letter to the ombudsman informing them of the harassment and how it is against the standards of practice. The ombudsman will contact the creditor or collection agency and take action to correct the matter. You could even be compensated for the distress.

2. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

The FCA authorizes and regulates debt collectors and creditors and is in a position to revoke these privileges should it establish that a member has violated the standards of practice. They can also impose fines for such conduct. You can thus make your case to them and have them take action.
