Who are Debt Managers (Scotland) Limited

I am currently with a Gregory Penningtion and have been for a while, I am now in a better position to do it all my self and pay it all off and give them more.
I have contacted all the agencies involved and they have been happy to talk but am struggling to find information for Debt Managers (Scotland) Limited.
This is how it shows on my statement from GP. I have tried a few searches and it keep ending up with Debt Managers (Services) Ltd - I have called them and they cant find any record of me.

I am not sure what to do - do I just wait for them to get in contact with me or should I keep trying?

    Hi,


    Well done for dumping GP.


    I have heard the name before, they are most likely a blanket company who purchase bad debt, then try to collect via a network of collection agencies.


    Best bet is to stop paying them, sooner or later, they will write to you, then you will know.

  • Thanks for the reply. I did finally manage to get my account number from GP for them so will try again this week and see if they have a record.

    ... but am struggling to find information for Debt Managers (Scotland) Limited. ...

    There was a Debt Managers Ltd based in Scotland; company number SC219618. They no longer exist.

    Further poking about suggests that both Debt Managers Ltd (late of Scotland) and Debt Managers (Services) Ltd of Rotherham are or were all part of the same business, which was acquired by Secure Trust Bank plc.
  • Thanks. Thats what I thought but they didnt have a record of me. So now I am armed with my Account Number I can call them this week and get it sorted.
  • Letter sent to GP telling them I am leaving - CHECK
    Letter to each creditor telling them I am increasing my payments and asking to confirm in writing the outstanding amount (now paying than double) - CHECK
    Letter to ThinkMoney to tell them I am closing my account - Ready to post once I check my pay is going to my new account

    I am a happy bunny now.
