Below you'll find out everything there is to know about Wescot, including their contact and address information.
Who are Wescot Credit Services?
Wescot are a company that buy "bad debts" from banks, telecoms suppliers, utility companies, mobile providers and other credit 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 Wescot. The debt collection agency (Wescot) 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, texting or writing to you because they have purchased your debt from the original lender, like Lloyds, Santander, British Gas etc. 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.
Do you actually owe them any money?
Wescot 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!
How old is the debt they are collecting?
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 Wescot Credit Services 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 Wescot.
This will make sure that if you do owe them money you onlt 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.

What can Wescot Debt Collectors do?
You may be reading this because you have received a text message from Wescot along the lines of "Please call Wescot Credit Services urgently on (0844 number) quoting reference number (xxxxxxx)".
This is not uncommon, Wecot will continue to text, call and write to you, until you pay.
However, debt collectors like Wescot 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, Wescot 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.
