Hi,

I have looked everywhere so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I have a recurring amount coming out of my account every month being paid to "The Lewis Group" for about £35 every month. I have tried cancelling this and emailing them to find out what and who this is.

Does anyone know who the Lewis Group is? And who uses them?

Thanks

    Havign a quick look at CAG forums, the lewis group have been known to collect debts on behalf of welcome finance. So i would say the lewis group is a debt collector.

    Definitely debt collectors, also deal with collection of council tax for some councils I think?

    Can you track back how long you have been paying it for?
    If in any doubt (and you don't think it could be by order of a court for a CCJ or liability order) I would cancel it and wait for them to contact you.
    Then you can ask for details of the debt and proof they can collect it.
