Refuse to engage

Received a letter from this firm for someone who used to live at our address.
We bought the house and moved in over 10 years ago - all public record.
Previous owners of debt harassed us and ending up having to pay compensation.
Now a new firm is chasing the debt.
I rang their helpline, you're not allowed to talk to anyone unless you owe them.
I rang their complaints line - it just says you can't talk to anyone
I tried to use their online form but they want loads of personal details they don't require as we don't owe them anything.
Clearly just after cash and don't care how they upset or inconvenience innocent and disinterested people.

Why would it not help them to cease harassing unconnected people?

Ask for a settlement fee

I owed money on a credit card, been chasing me for a long time. Nobody was aggressive but they did have a wrong number for me.
I offered 65% if the debt and they cleared the full amount. I gave them a 3 star mainly because I begrudge paying

Unable to take payment

Unable to take payment, online form does not allow you to submit an inquiry without a UK phone number

And if you’d like a test of their integrity - note how they present their trustpilot score vs what it actually is - in their emails they suggest they have a 5 star rating, if you look closely it’s just that ‘Sharon from Coleraine’ is a single 5 star reviews in a sea of 1 stars

Constant phone calls and texts telling me I had an account with them. Couldn’t complain because you need an account number I didn’t have one (because I haven t got an account!!!). No debt, no current or old store cards are in debt accounts anywhere. Endless texts and calls - not able to block them. Finally got them to take my number off the system when they realised they had the wrong person - wrong address, wrong date of birth. No apology for all the harassment. Disgraceful, unethical scam artists. Shouldn’t be allowed

This company is absolutely disgusting

This company is absolutely disgusting! A fraudulent debt that was sold to them by Three Mobile in my name, after a fraudster has made my life absolute hell for the past two and a half years. I have sent the proof over that has been requested by Lowell, I sent on the 16th May, I then phoned for an update at the end of May, to be told by the advisor to ring back mid June as the e-mail team was behind! I have rang back today to say that they have not even received my e-mail, why was I not told this at the end of May! I have been refused a mortgage renewal because of this fraud on my credit report. IT IS NOT MINE, vile, disgusting company! If you want to try and help me, my reference is 469533830, please find my e-mail and help this nightmare to end for me! I am partially deaf so response by e-mail is desirable.

Tried to get £1100 from me for old sky debt paid off

Lowell are nothing but legalised robbers who prey on the vulnerable. They are trying to get money out of me for an old mobile phone i had 5 years ago with sky and claiming I owe £1100 which i have sent screenshots of this being paid off and settled. They offer bully boy tactics so I sent a stern email to not harass me. They should not be allowed to operate in this country and should be struck off as a debt collector or whoever they are. They are a bunch of mugs if they think I'm paying it when it's already cleared.

Mitra,

In most cases, a default will have already registered on a customer’s credit file before we buy their account. This stays on their credit file for six years. Once they pay their account in full, we will let the credit reference agencies know so they can update the default as satisfied, with a zero balance.

As the data controller of our customers’ accounts, we have a legal duty to make sure that the information we report to the credit file is correct.

We’ve sent you a DM to see what we can do to support you.

Kind regards,

Catherine

Do not discuss anything with this company.

They contacted me for a debt they said my son has…which he doesn’t. I explained he is in a medical facility until June 12th. They wanted me to give them the reason he is in there.
I told them I had no idea who they were so I would not me disclosing my sons medical records to them as they have no right to that information.
If they want more information they can take me to court!!

A bunch of liars

I received a letter and phone calls from these people concerning an outstanding balance from an old phone contract from 2023 for less than £30.

As it was such a small amount and they were threatening to put a default on my credit history I paid them...only for them to put the default on my report regardless.

Am currently trying to remove it, but now I wish I never spoke to them. DON'T TRUST THEM

Under Lowell’s license they are supposed to treat people fairly yet they harass you no end.

Despite asking them for proof of debt several times they have never provided it yet they continue to harass me.

They have also stolen my data and passed it on a clear breach of GDPR.

Unless you have a signed credit agreement you are liable for nothing they are just scammers hoping people will pay.

I have told them if they harass me again I will start charging them.

They have unlawfully put defaults on my credit file which I am getting removed.

So watch out, do your research and put the power in your hands
