More context required- what is the debt they are pursuing?

HelpmyDCbecomefinanciallysavvy · 21/08/2024 23:25

Don’t let them in and don’t talk to them.

Go to citizens or debt advice.

Don’t let people bully you in your own home.

Go and sit in A&E or your Drs on that day and say you were having anxiety and panic attack. Evidence of the negative impact on your health for future management of these circumstances will help.

Get professional advice.

If you have no debt might be a SCAM.

Check your credit file any debt will be on there especially if court proceedings.

Coohie · 21/08/2024 23:37

I do have debt

Have you received letters?

HelpmyDCbecomefinanciallysavvy · 21/08/2024 23:39

Check your credit files.

Make sure your parents don’t answer the door.

Get them to speak out of the window that you don’t own anything in the house.

Do not let them in.

Coohie · 21/08/2024 23:39

Who is the message from??? Is it a text message??? It looks like a scale. If you are in financial trouble please contact citizens advice bureau for help. Luck 🤞 💐🙏

Looks fishy. Various spelling/grammar errors for starters. Also, no name of the firm and just the agent's first name. Debt collector and bailiff scams are rife and I'd bet this is exactly that.

Coohie · 21/08/2024 23:40

Nothing comes up my parents dont know bout this or the debts

OP posts:
Coohie · 21/08/2024 23:41

Have a read at this:

Bailiffs and Nuisance SMS Text Messages (dealingwithbailiffs.co.uk)

It is probably a scam but even it is real you do not want to respond or engage in any way.

Do not reply.

Do not let them in.

Acknowledging the debt is proof that you owe them money.

Or it’s a scam and they turn up and take your stuff - some bloke in a uniform and a van could clear your property fairly quickly.

Coohie · 21/08/2024 23:48

Thankyou im hoping its a scam im so worried im getting told different stuff

OP posts:
Coohie · 21/08/2024 23:49

There no option to reply can they come to my house if they are a scam

OP posts:
NoSquirrels · 21/08/2024 23:51

Please call StepChange to help with you debts, or go back to Citizens Advice. Then when you know it’s all on a payment plan to be dealt with you won’t need to panic.

Kinneddar · 21/08/2024 23:53

It's a bit odd that there's no ref no or phone number on it - you'd expect them to be on it. At the top beside the 'DCUK' there's an arrow to a previous page is there anything before this message

Coohie · 21/08/2024 23:53

I have set up an a payment plan now starting october

OP posts:
Coohie · 21/08/2024 23:55
