Rogue debt collection agencies on the rise

The problem of businesses falling victim to rogue debt collection agencies seems to be a continuing problem over the past twenty years with scores of companies being “taken for a ride”.

The media recently ran stories highlighting the problem of UK’s rogue Debt Collection firms that purport to be professional yet charge their clients for debt recovery services then fail to provide anything at all according to reports. One story told relates to a plumbing company in Surrey who paid over £7300 to Corporate Litigation Services for Debt Recovery services only for little or nothing to be done.

Despite tougher legislation and regulations surrounding the debt collection industry, criminals are still seeking to gain from wrongful trading tactics.
