We understand that people’s circumstances change and life events happen which may impact your finances. If you’ve received a Default Notice, you’re likely to hear from a Debt Collection Agency.
What is a Debt Collection Agency?
Debt Collection Agencies aren’t as intimidating as they may sound.
Many people face money troubles at some point in their lives. One of the worst things about getting into debt is not knowing how to get out of it, but don’t worry – it’s usually possible to find a solution everyone’s happy with (i.e. you and the people you owe money to).
That’s where Debt Collection Agencies come in. Their job is to work with you to understand your financial situation and come up with a payment plan you can realistically afford.

What steps should I take now?
There’s no need to worry. They are there to help you.
A Debt Collection Agency will get in touch with you by letter, email, text or phone. If this happens, the best thing to do is to get the conversation started.
Their aim is to speak with you, work out what’s affordable for you and help you find the best way to restore your financial health. The sooner you come to an arrangement, the sooner you can get back on track. And remember, it’s their job to work with you (not against you) so feel free to ask as many questions as you like.
