Who Is Trace Debt Recovery and Why Are They Contacting Me?

Has Trace Debt Recovery Violated My Rights?

There are specific procedures that debt collectors, such as Trace Debt Recovery, must follow, even if the debt is valid. There are certain things they cannot do by law. Initially, they may contact you in person, by phone, or in writing, but if you write them a letter requesting that you only be reached by mail, they cannot contact you any other way. If they do, you would have the right to report them to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

There are other activities that debt collectors cannot do, including:

• Harassing you - this means they cannot do anything that is intended to (or results in) you being threatened, humiliated or distressed
• Breach data protection laws
• Lie to you
• increase the interest on your account
• Charge you more for a service than it costs them
• Contact you on weekends
• Show up at your place of work or contact you at your work (this is often done to humiliate you in front of coworkers)
• Threaten you with legal powers that they don't possess

If you are unsure if Trace Debt Recovery is engaging in harassment or illegal activity, DoNotPay can help. We will investigate the situation thoroughly to help you determine if your rights are being violated.
