By answering a few simple questions, we can begin your journey towards being debt free
Why Have Moorcroft Debt Recovery Contacted Me?
If Moorcroft Debt Recovery have contacted you, it is likely that you owe money on either an outstanding mobile phone contract or possibly an internet service provider. They are also known to collect for HMRC, Local Authorities for Council Tax along with other numerous creditors. The original creditor has sold that debt to Moorcroft. A company like Moorcroft will often come into action once your creditor has exhausted their own debt collection options.
Like most debt collection or bailiff firms, Moorcroft will use a range of methods to reclaim that debt, including phone calls, letters and emails. If you fail to respond to these methods, then they can even take court action. They are not a Bailiff, so they should not come to your house and try to remove items.
It is essential, at this point, that you begin to engage with your debt and take action.
Could Moorcroft Take Me To Court?
The short answer to this question is YES. If you fail to engage with Moorcroft and their efforts to contact you and discuss your debt, or if you fail to stick to any repayment plans they have set, then they could obtain a CCJ (County Court Judgement).
Once this CCJ is obtained, they will be authorised to begin enforcement action.
An instruction to a bailiff WILL result in them taking action such as, visiting your home and taking items to the value of the debt, applying for an Attachment of Earnings, whereby money will be taken directly from your income or they could issue a Statutory Demand, possibly resulting in you being made bankrupt.
What Options Do I Have?
Of course, the first option is to attempt to settle your debt with your creditor or Moorcroft if the debt has been sold to them. But if you are unable to do this or if this debt is only one of a number of debts your struggling with, then there is another way.
By entering into an Insolvency Debt Solution such as an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement), you could tackle your debt by making one affordable monthly repayment towards your debt for a period of five years. This monthly repayment is based upon what you can afford NOT the amount you owe.
Once the five year period has ended, whatever balance is left to pay is automatically written off. Leaving you to start again.
It is typical for this amount to be around 75% of our client’s debt, however it is not unusual for this write off amount to reach up to 85% of the original arrears.
Below is an example of a real life IVA.
