CCS Collect - Should I Make Payment?

If you are receiving calls or letters from CCS Collect this may be because the company whom you owe payment to has used every option to attempt to chase your debt but have found no other option than to pass on to a debt collection agency. Unlike many debt collection agencies, CCS do not purchase debt from clients but rather work on behalf of them to recover their debt.

How will CCS Collect try to take action?

As a debt collection agency, CCS Collect will be more persistent in chasing debts. This is because as a specialist agency they have more resources to use solely for retrieving unpaid debts unlike the previous company who you owed money to. They will initiate contact with you to request payment of debt typically by letter or through calls and email.

If you find yourself under more pressure from a debt collection agency such as CCS Collect, then you should be aware that they remain under the same legal obligations as the company you previously owed debt towards. As a collection service provider, they are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and so are obliged to act according to their guidelines. However, if you do continue to ignore letters and phone calls, then they can hold your account to further action including further interest fees and charges. At this stage if you continue to ignore requests they can escalate to the Sherriff Court.

It is advised that you make payment where possible as ignoring the situation can make matters worse and increase feelings of stress and anxiety. If you find that you are unable to afford payment, then out team at Scotland Debt Solutions have years of experience dealing with individuals in similar circumstances.
