Lewis Group Debt Collectors and
the Truth About Your Debt

You may call into question the validity of the money owed by making
a SAR (or Subject Access Request) in response to Lewis Group debt collectors.
The owner of the alleged debt (the bank or the debt collecting firm)
is obliged to send you a true signed copy of your original credit agreement
if the agreement was made prior to 6th April 2007. When they fail to
do this they are in violation of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, and the
debt is said to be in dispute. For as long as this situation exists
they are not allowed to make further demands on you and they are not
allowed to sell it on (which many do anyway). For as long as the alleged
debt is in dispute it cannot be enforced, even by a judge.. Or you can
get a lawyer to help you, because it can be a bit of a strain. There
are also specialist legal firms professing services in this field.
There are several good consumer finance forums where you may read
all about the tactics implicating Lewis Group debt collectors and their
various tricks. Notice how some of the DCAs specialise in some types
of activity while others choose a different line and use different tactics.
The result is always suffering and distress for people. These debt collecting
companies are sometimes members of plausible trade bodies which appears
to legitimize their illicit activities. In truth they are more like
the con-men who send junk mail to you telling you that you have won
first prize in the lottery even though you have never entered one.
Always deal with these debt collecting companies by letter. Never
give out your telephone number. The problem is that at first, when your
defences are down, they'll tell you that they are the bank or credit
card company and so you will feel obliged to comply. Your uncertainty
is important to them, so they seek to create as much uncertainty as
they can: here Lewis Group debt collectors will have the best result.
As soon as they get hold of your personal details they will use it to
pester you, even to frighten you. You may use the law to stop them but
the problem is that most people don't know which laws to use and it
is all too apparent these debt collection firms use it to their advantage.
Public bodies such as the excellent Consumer Credit Counselling Service
or the Citizen's Advice Bureau give a good free service but sometimes
they are stretched to bursting and there are times when such advice
does not provide the whole picture.
Certainly, some debt purchasers (or DPCs) are far worse than the rest.
Perhaps the worst debt collectors have a line in sending out speculative
correspondence about hypothetical debt to people saying that they owe
money knowing that they owe nothing to anybody. This works well for
the debt collecting agencies for the reason that they are very well
aware that some folk will succumb even though they realize full well
they owe no money to anybody. The least honest of the debt collecting
agencies purchase information about lists of delinquent debts which
are often more than six years out of date and try to profit from these.
This is totally against the law. These are Statute Barred debts, and
they cannot be legally enforced.
So ask Lewis Group Debt Collectors
for a copy of the original contract when you took out your loan or credit
card.
Even better, start
an unenforceable
credit agreement application here. If you want to check, in addition,
missold PPI and recover all the credit card charges you've paid over
the last 6 years (plus 8% interest) it costs an upfront fee of only
£99 for a full audit to see what you're entitled to. Click

To find out if you
qualify for an IVA or can benefit from a debt management programme,
try the IVA
Test. It's free to apply, and again you are protected by the consumer
laws regarding debt management at all stages. Click
here to go to the application form.
