What to check before paying or agreeing a plan

  • Confirm the account reference and original creditor match your records.
  • Check whether the company says it owns the debt or is collecting for another organisation.
  • If you do not recognise the debt, ask for clarification before making a payment or admitting liability.
  • Keep copies of letters, emails, payment offers and complaint correspondence.
  • Do not agree to a repayment amount that is not affordable alongside priority household bills.
  • Check whether the communication is a debt-collection letter, a Letter of Claim, a court claim or another formal litigation document and note any deadline immediately.
