Who Are Motormile Finance Debt Collectors and Why Are They Calling Me?

Motormile Finance debt collectors are a UK-based agency offering finance solutions to business and private customers and car dealerships. The company collects debts on behalf of Credit Agricole Consumer Finance and FCA Italy S.P.A (a member of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Group), an umbrella group for FCA Bank S.P.A.

The Financial Conduct Authority provides that debt collectors such as Motormile Finance must follow a specific code of guidance when contacting customers. The FCA guidelines outline the minimum standards of operation. Companies like Motormile Finance cannot claim excessive or unfair collection charges; they cannot threaten to impound your vehicles or continue to harass you.

Motormile finance debt collectors may be calling you to:

• Demand payment for the debt
• Prompt you to validate a debt
• Notify you that the company has taken over the debt
• Inform you of outstanding debt
• Harass you to start making payments

When the company purchases your debt, they will contact you by phone or send you a letter. The initial message outlines their pre-action protocol: the money you owe, penalties, and additional charges they could have included. The agency will also highlight a tight deadline requiring you to repay the dues in total, which is approximately seven days.
