Hi sorry if I'm putting this in wrong section...

Just wondering if anyone knows who Lowell Financial often work on behalf of? I've tried google but it so far has only told me about mobile phone company debts and I know I 100% absolutely definitely do not owe my current one or past ones. Do they often take up debts for other stuff, does anyone know? Also all my utility bills and council tax are up to date, I've no court fines... I'm at a complete loss here!

Thanks in advance!

    If they have written to you the origin of the debt is usually included on the letter. Credit cards store cards etc etc they will buy all manner of debts.

    Lowell are a major player in the debt purchasing market, debts they buy include, loans, creditcard accounts, mobile phone debts, catalogue debts, utilities, infact almost anything.

    They work on behalf of themselves - and are one of the more frequent visitors to court. Their speciality is default CCJ's especially where there may be missing paperwork. Without a defendant to get them to prove the debt, the CCJ is waved through. All legally above board though somewhat questionable.
    Unlike some here, I am not omniscient. If I am wrong correct me. I won't take offence.

    The law is like an ocean - have a swim but don't drown.
