Shoosmiths Solicitors - Should I Make Payment?

If you are being chased by Shoosmiths, this is because the lender who you owe payment to has sold this on to them as part of their corporate debt recovery services. This occurs when they have used all methods available to attain payment and have no other option than to contact a debt recovery service provider. What happens in this arrangement is that the debt collection firm, such as Shoosmiths, will purchase your outstanding debt from the business and manage repayment moving forward so it is no longer a responsibility of your original lender.

What action can Shoosmiths take against me?

When chasing payment, debt agencies or solicitors can be more direct and persistent in their methods. This may mean that you will receive more frequent and insistent communication from them. This can be received as phone calls, letters, or both. As commercial debt recovery solicitors, Shoosmiths have access to more resources and a team dedicated to receiving payments back. This can mean receiving multiple calls in one day as they are able to chase payment more efficiently than the original lending business who have less time and resources to use for this matter.

Whilst being chased by debt collector specialists may feel overwhelming, it is important to consider that there are certain legal obligations they must follow in the same way as your previous lender was obliged to. Debt collection agencies or solicitors such as Shoosmiths can however escalate to the Sheriff Court if payment remains outstanding. According to Scottish law, they can place you under a wage arrestment or gain control over your personal funds in your bank account. To prevent this from occurring, it is advised to act as soon as possible to address the situation before it worsens.

If you find yourself being chased, it is important to acknowledge the situation and act. The feelings of stress and anxiety brought by this may make it seem daunting to address your debts. There is help available if you cannot pay the amount owed. By reaching out to our team of experienced advisors at Scotland Debt Solutions, you are taking the first step to becoming free from debt chasing.

If you find yourself still struggling to make payment to Shoosmiths for the debt owed, make sure you communicate this to them from your perspective. Remain calm and collected when addressing this and you may be able to organise a payment plan with them to help clear the amount due.

When negotiating with debt collection specialists, it is important to be mindful of other financial obligations to ensure you do not later face struggles with managing other commitments such as rent or council tax.
