Stop Debt Collection Harassment - Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008

⚖️ Your Legal Protection Against Harassment

🛡️

CPR 2008 Protection

The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 prohibits aggressive commercial practices. Debt collectors who use harassment, coercion, or undue influence face criminal prosecution and unlimited fines.

⚡

Protection from Harassment Act

Under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, repeated unwanted contact constitutes harassment. You can obtain a restraining order and claim damages. Criminal penalties include up to 6 months imprisonment.

📞

FCA CONC Rules

FCA Consumer Credit Sourcebook (CONC 7.3) strictly regulates contact frequency and methods. Violations can result in loss of credit license, enforcement action, and compensation orders.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: When Can You Use This Letter?

✅ USE This Letter When:

  • Excessive Contact: Multiple calls/texts per day
  • Wrong Times: Before 8am or after 9pm
  • Wrong People: Contacting employer, family, friends
  • Threatening Behavior: Aggressive or intimidating language
  • False Information: Lies about legal powers or consequences

❌ This Letter CANNOT Stop:

🎯 KEY POINT: Harassment vs Legitimate Collection

OWING MONEY DOESN'T REMOVE YOUR RIGHTS! Even if you genuinely owe a debt, creditors MUST follow strict rules. They can pursue the debt legally, but they CANNOT harass you.

✅ LEGITIMATE:
  • One call per day maximum
  • "Please contact us to discuss"
  • Professional, courteous tone
  • Accurate information
  • Proper legal procedures
❌ HARASSMENT:
  • 10+ calls per day
  • "We're coming to your house NOW"
  • Aggressive, threatening tone
  • "You'll go to prison" (lies)
  • Bypassing legal process

📮 What Happens After Sending?

Best Case:

They stop all harassment immediately and switch to legal methods only (monthly letters, proper court action if needed)

Likely Case:

They reduce contact to legal minimum, may send one letter confirming receipt and their position

If Ignored:

Report to FCA, call police (101), seek restraining order, sue for damages, formal complaints

⚖️ This letter enforces your LEGAL RIGHTS under UK law. Use it to stop harassment, not to avoid legitimate debts.
