Mercers Debt Collectors and
the Truth About Your Debt

It is best to ensure that you know whether or not the debt collecting
company has bought the debt themselves (as a debt purchasing firm) or
whether they are doing recovery work on behalf of a client such as a
loan company or bank (where they would pocket a proportion of recovered
funds in commission). If a letter of assignment has been sent, which
the law requires if the debt has actually been sold wholesale, then
you will know that the debt collector is the owner of the account and
will try to extort as much out of you as they can. When dealing with
Mercers Debt Collectors do bear in mind that every penny the collection
agency gets is pure profit because they purchased the debt wholesale..
Assuming that you are having to deal with Mercers Debt Collectors
then perhaps you can draw comfort that a lot of the things that they
are using against you remain illegal. These debt collecting companies
(or DCAs) do not seem to be obliged to improve their conduct unless
ordered to do so by the OFT (Office of Fair Trading) or similar organisation.
Dpcs turn a healthy profit from purchasing bad debts from other companies
for a fraction of their balance value (about ten per cent or even less)
and attempt to extort the full value from you. When dealing with Mercers
Debt Collectors it is worth bearing in mind that they make their living
this way. They will then use all sorts of tricks to get money out of
you. That includes scaring folk to the extent that they cannot sleep,
their relationships decay and their lives may even be ruined. All because
a greedy company obtained the data about an unsecured debt and tried
to make a profit from it at all costs.
Some debt purchasing companies (or DPCs) are far worse than others.
There are some DCAs who have a sideline in sending off thousands of
tentative letters about hypothetical debt telling people they owe money
knowing that they owe nothing to anyone. This tactic works well for
these debt collecting agencies simply because they have observed that
a certain percentage of people will submit to their threats even though
they know full well that they have bo debts. The least honest of the
debt collecting firms buy information about lists of delinquent debts
which are more than six years old to try and profit from these. This
is totally against the law. These debts are known as Statute Barred
debts, and they cannot be legally enforced.
So ask Mercers 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

laws regarding debt management at all stages. Click
