Intrum Justitia are a debt collection agency and debt recovery company.
As a debt collection company they specialise in collecting payments of debts owed by individuals or businesses. They collect debts on behalf of companies like O2, PayPal, Ebay and the like.
Chances are they are calling or writing to you because they believe you owe money.
They also buys "bad debts" or "old debts" from banks, credit card companies and other lenders at a discounted rate. They then chase the debtor for the full amount of the original debt.
The original creditor will have sold the debt to Intrum Justitia. The debt collection agency typically pay as little as 10p for every pound of debt they buy, but will chase you for the full amount of the original debt plus interest and costs.
So the chances are they are calling or writing to you because they have purchased your debt from the original lender or company, like O2, PayPal, Ebay and more. They now own the debt and believe you owe money.
If you have been contacted by them, you have to make a decision on how to deal with them.
Intrum Justitia are just a debt collection agency, and therefore have to provide clear evidence that you owe the money.
Just because they keep calling or are writing you letters stating that you owe them money, does not mean you actually do. YOU MUST CHECK!
It could be statute barred, which means you no longer owe it.
If you do owe them money then do not enter into an agreement with them before you have taken advice.
This will make sure that they can prove that you actually owe the debt, and if so, that you get an agreement which is affordable for you.
Too often people are pressurised into paying the amount the debt collection agency want them to pay, even if they really can't afford to pay that much each week or month.
Our experts deal with Intrum Justitia every day, and can quickly help you determine if the debt is statute barred, in which case you won't have to pay anything.
If you do owe the money then we can also give you a FREE financial assessment, which you can then send to Intrum Justitia.
This will make sure that if you do owe them money you only enter an agreement to repay on YOUR TERMS, at a rate you CAN AFFORD, rather than the one they may suggest.
Even if you have already entered an agreement with them, we may still be able to help you if you are struggling with the current payments.

Debt collection agencies like Intrum Justitia must follow the strict debt collection guidance that are laid down by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority)
The FCAs debt collection rules and guidance sets out minimum standards that all authorised companies involved in debt recovery and debt collection must adhere to in order to be considered fit to operate as a debt collector.
Therefore, under the rules laid down by the FCA, they can not claim unfair or excessive collection charges, they can not harrass you, they can't threaten to seize your property (when lawfully they cannot), they can not bypass an appointed representative and contact you directly. The FCA also bans debt collectors from threatening legal action when it is unlikely to take place.
The following actions are all unfair. We've seen all these activities and more. Some of these are outlawed by industry rules or codes of practice, and some of them are illegal:
