What To Do If You Get A Nasty Letter or Phone Call From:
ARC (Europe) Debt Collectors

ARC
Debt Collectors is a debt purchasing company or debt collecting company
listed in the site of DBSG
(The Debt Buyers and Sellers Group) and/or mentioned in consumer finance
forms. They have a legitimate function as debt collections, but there
is some indication that some such companies (not necessarily ARC Debt
Collectors), and especially the debt purchasing element, go a bit too
far sometimes and can make people's lives a misery when those same people
are at their most vulnerable. We do not suggest that they are acting
outside the law, but getting that letter or phone call is not exactly
helpful to you right now.
So the first thing
you must do if ARC Debt Collectors is bothering you is not to
panic or despair. That's just what they want! They'd love you
to call their number and speak to their specially trained sales team
for 'advice'. But once you do that you'll be suggestible to whatever
they tell you, instead of getting independent advice. While we always
say that you should keep an open dialogue with debt collectors, we would
recommend that you do so in writing only. This will prevent them 'railroading'
you into any action which is not in your best interests, as they so
love talking people into doing things on the spur of the moment. Of
course, they are only doing their job, but that's hardly a consolation
for you in the present situation.
There are several
courses that are open to you, and some will suit your own situation
better than others. You could use one of these, or even all of them
if they are appropriate to your own circumstances.
But first of all,
a warning: we DON'T recommend taking out a so-called 'consolidation
loan', or at least think carefully if you are offered one. These are
fine in some cases, and they look quite rosy in the short term, but
they can easily get you in more difficulty than before; after all, this
is more debt. Where would you be with this a few years
down the line?
A more sensible
option, we would suggest, is a debt management plan or even an IVA -
which is designed to actually write off a large chunk of your unsecured
debt. But you would need to take advice on this and look at your income
and expenditure in detail. This option won't suit everyone. There's
more on this below.
For a longer term
loan you could apply for a 'logbook loan' which many
people find a very handy option. It is actually a loan secured on your
car, except you get to keep the car and keep the cash as well! That's
why some people find it such a good idea, as it unlocks the equity in
your vehicle without taking away your means of transport (there's no
need to sell the car). To apply
for a logbook loan click here.
Yet another option
is a no credit-check guarantor loan. This is especially
useful because your own credit rating is not looked at; you must find
someone else willing to act as a guarantor for you such as a friend
or family member. This is an ideal solution if you're at the stage where
your credit profile has been downgraded by recent events, etc. So click
the following link for Unsecured
Loans that don't need you to be credit checked.
If you wanted to
try a debt management plan, then we provide a whole-of-market service,
with a number of debt management experts on our panel. So whatever your
circumstances, your application will find the plan for you, meaning
the optimum outcome for your situation. It also means
there are no minimum requirements for debt levels or income.
NOTE: If you have
at least two accounts in debt, and total debts of £2,000 or more,
enter your details below to see if you qualify. (But if you owe less
than this, or are on state benefits, then use this
link to apply instead.)

ARC
Debt Collectors and the Truth About Your Debt
ARC
Debt Collectors Ltd is a debt purchasing agent that has purchased
the debt account from the original creditor, often a bank for a fraction
of the original value and is trying to get the full sum of the
original debt from you.
ARC
Debt Collectors Limited will use all sorts of nasty methods to get
money out of you so that they can profit from your misery. You may
have already experienced bad dealings with them on the phone. They
may call you on the phone when they know it is inconvenient or even
embarrassing for you and do so unacceptably often. They may send you
official-appearing sternly drafted letters or cards threatening to
send someone round and collect the full amount or take you to court
for the full amount. Other strategies may include saying that they
will make a charging order on your property or in some way bring about
your homelessness or destitution.
So
ask ARC Debt Collectors for a copy of the original contract when you
took out your loan or credit card.

Do
please be aware that figures entered need to be accurate by law, and
to give the best service to you. It is very important that you budget
for all necessary expenditure including rent or mortgage, council
tax and utility bills, etc., and any other necessary outgoings related
to the upkeep of your household and in relation to any specific circumstances
which may apply to you or your household. This website only collects data on behalf
of debt management professionals, from which it will receive affiliate
remuneration for data collection only and does not itself engage in
any debt management services. Other debt management options are available
and may be more suitable. People entering into an IVA or debt management
will have this entered on their credit profile and this may affect
their ability to get credit in the short term or even in the long
term in some cases. It is free to apply from this website; you will
be given advice by debt management professionals and a 'cooling off'
period, by law, to decide whether or not the debt management plan
is suitable for you, and you should be aware that a fee will be chargeable
upon a successful arrangement, as with any commercial transaction.
Failure to meet the repayments on an IVA or any debt management programme
may result in serious consequences, including, but not limited to,
bankruptcy. Bankruptcies, CCJs and similar defaults will be entered
into a public register and will remain there for a statutory period
of not less than six (6) years.
