What rights does SLL Capital Debt have?
Any company which chases customers for outstanding debts have to follow a rigorous code of conduct.
In our opinion, this still needs to be tightened up as it seems to rely on intimidation.
This is usually demonstrated by the field agents who visit your home and try their best not to let you get away with anything – they are often male and large in stature.
When visiting you at your residence, they can be so intimidating and demanding that many people feel pressured into paying them what’s owed right then instead of waiting until later when things might take care of themselves naturally.
SLL Capital is a company that knowingly takes advantage of people’s hardship and then exploits them for their own gain.
What should you do?
When SLL Capital debt visits you, they must follow a code of conduct: Nobody (unless a debt collector) can come to your property unless they have permission, and debt collectors must always give you their card and identify themselves properly.
This is called the Consumer Credit Act, 2006. (The industry is regulated by this law.)
Can debt collectors harass you online?
Imagine this. You’re in debt, and you decide to ignore the collection notices – any debt collector knows what the best way to get your attention is – harass you online.
However, debt collectors can’t create a fake Facebook page or Twitter account just to harass debtors.
SLL Capital are not allowed to impersonate anyone.
In addition to the prohibition against impersonation through social media outlets, debt collectors are prohibited from misrepresenting their identity when contacting debtors or attempting to collect a debt.
This means that when SLL Capital want to contact you by phone regarding an outstanding debt, they must do so by identifying themselves as debt collectors (or the name of their agency).
Additionally, SLL Capital cannot disclose false, misleading information about debt and collection activities.
An example might include a company like SLL Capital using your name to find more people they can collect from – you might have incurred debt for an online purchase that was never delivered after all.
SLL Capital then contact debtors and use your name/identity to trick you into paying a debt that isn’t yours.
SLL Capital can contact other agencies to have their debt purchases or sold further.
So what does this all mean?
It means SLL Capital debt are not allowed to fake their identity by mentioning something like ‘we are debt collectors from the agency ABC’ if, in reality, they are debt collectors working on behalf of agency DEF.
The FCA has been warning debt collectors against using deceptive tactics and violating debt buyers and sellers regarding collection activities.
Do I have to pay the SLL capital debt?
If you have debt problems, debt collectors and bailiffs will be chasing you for money.
You could be a private individual or an organization. Creditors know that there are several debt collection agencies out there who are willing to chase people down and get their money back from them even if they do not really need it.
However, a debt collection agency should always follow debt collection laws and regulations.
According to laws, debt collectors do not have the right to harass debtors, lie about them to other people, damage their property or endanger their health.
In short: SLL Capital Limited “cannot get away” with illegal debt collections.
SLL Capital must act within laws and regulations.
If you have been harassed by SLL Capital and want to know whether debt collectors exceeded debt collection agency regulations according to laws, you should first be aware of their rights and responsibilities.
To ensure SLL Capital acts within debt collection laws and debt collection regulations, they are being forced to follow guidelines set out by the FCA and CSA.
Specifically, they must keep good faith in the conduct of debt collection proceedings as required by UK law.
Furthermore, those who fail to comply with debt collection regulations can face fines or even debt collection litigation.
Perhaps the most important debt collection laws and debt collection regulations they must be aware of include debt collection statutes of limitations and debt collector communications.
What is an IVA?
An individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) is a formal and legally binding agreement between you, your creditors, and the court.
The courts approve this plan to pay back debts over time and then agreed upon by all parties involved.
This means it’s mandatory for both debtors as well as their creditors; if you don’t stick with the terms of an IVA voluntarily entered into after negotiation–then you could face legal consequences such as imprisonment or fines.
IVA debt solutions typically propose to repay your debts in one or two lump sums and then a fixed monthly payment for the next five years.
The debt recovery firm will stop contacting you as long as payments are on time, but they might start again if you default.
If you do end up missing instalments, debt relief agencies are legally entitled to take a proportion of your future debt payments to reimburse themselves for any court fees and compensation charges incurred while the IVA was being negotiated.
IVAs can be used to repay any debt, including unsecured debt such as credit cards or personal loans; secured debt such as mortgages and loans.
You might be able to consolidate debt through an IVA, but this will depend on your creditors agreeing to the debt relief debt solutions arrangement.
How does an IVA work?
An insolvency practitioner is a person who specialises in good debt management and will work with you on an Individual Voluntary Arrangement.
An IVA usually starts out as a plan to repay your creditors by making small payments each month for the next 5 years but can be worked into any payment schedule that works best for your finances.
The process of setting up this agreement has fees associated so it’s important to do research before committing yourself or getting started with paying back what you owe!
