Who Is 01563 556429, and Why Are They Contacting Me?

Calls from 01563 556429 are from Mackenzie Hall debt collectors. If the company calls you, you probably owe money, and they bought your account at a discounted rate. You may not know the company because you owed money to a different creditor. Mackenzie Hall is a debt collection agency for different companies and follows up with their customers for payment.

The company may call you for three reasons:

• To Collect on the Debt

Mackenzie will call you, hoping they will get you to pay the entire amount via credit or debit card. You can negotiate and ask to pay in instalments.

• To Gather Details

Debt collectors send automated letters too many different people bearing similar names. They identify who owes them and start collecting by making a phone call to find out how much you earn, your expenses, and if you own valuables.

• To Intimidate You

Sometimes Mackenzie may call to intimidate you into paying your debt. A debt collector has no right to enter your home and collect items. However, most people do not know this and get intimidated.

Mackenzie may make endless annoying calls, asking you to pay the debt you owe. When the debt collectors make that initial call, you must ask them to prove you owe them money by putting it in writing in a "Prove the debt" letter. Not responding to Mackenzie does not mean the problem will go away.

The debt collection agency will keep following up on whether you have a debt with them. Sometimes it could be a case of mistaken identity or debt you paid but did not reflect on the creditor's send. Contact Mackenzie to avoid hurting your credit score or getting sued.

Is Mackenzie Hall a Scam?

Mackenzie Hall is a legit and duly registered debt collection agency. Call the original creditor if you acknowledge you have an unpaid debt but aren't sure about its legitimacy. You can also ask Mackenzie for their physical address, phone, and operating licence number.

Is Mackenzie Violating Your Rights?

Mackenzie must follow the rules set out by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). If Mackenzie flouts these rules, you can turn the tables and use them instead. Some of the FCA rules state that debt collectors should desist from:

• Making phone calls at night or at unreasonable times
• Writing you letters purporting to be from a court
• Using confusing language
• Discussing your debt with anyone other than the one you appoint
• Calling you when the debt is already in dispute

What Happens if I Don't Pay My Debt?

You must pay your debt; otherwise, you will ruin your credit. Bad credit means you cannot get a loan or credit card in the future. You can demand a "Prove it "letter when Mackenzie Hall calls you. Once they send the Prove it letter, you need to respond within seven days.

Otherwise, they can sue you.

After a court judgement, you need to pay within 28 days, and then enforce the judgement. After judgement, the debt collectors accompany court bailiffs and recover items that equal your debt's value. You can contact Mackenzie and ask for some time or formulate a payment plan. Mackenzie can apply in court for a charging order which attaches your earnings for some time until the debit clears.

Alternative Ways to Resolve Issues With Mackenzie Hall

If you and Mackenzie hit a snag on the debt issue, you have several ways you can solve the dispute:

1. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Schemes with the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority).

ADR allows consumers and traders to resolve disputes without court cases. The debt collectors must follow the FCA guidelines. The two types of ADR include:

• Arbitration
• Mediation

2. Financial Ombudsman

If you reached out to Mackenzie and still cannot reach an agreement, report to the Financial Ombudsman. The Ombudsman is partial, independent, and investigates consumer complaints against public and private organisations. Before you report, ensure:

• You contacted Mackenzie, waited eight weeks, and got no response
• Mackenzie already sent you a deadlock Letter

The Ombudsman will reach out within ten days. You can complain if:

• You don't recognize the debt
• The amount is contentious
• The debt collectors keep harassing you
• You are not doing well financially, and Mackenzie Hall is not cooperating
• The debt is unenforceable

3. Small Claims Court

You can sue them in a small claims court. However, remember that small claims court deal with small claims. The maximum these courts can handle in England & Wales is £10,000
