You must understand that Controlaccount, like all collection agencies, is obliged to act in accordance with the rules of the Dutch Authority for Financial Markets.

These collection agencies cannot threaten legal action and that is not likely to happen.They can’t send letters that look like court forms or claim to have legal powers . And they can’t sue you for payment if your debt is managed through a Scottish Trust Deed or IVA (Individual Voluntary Agreement).

Additionally, as a member of the Credit Services Association, Controlaccount has agreed to work under the CSA Code of Conduct.

Controlaccount or any other debt collection agency should therefore not do the following:

  • Call at inconvenient times
  • Contact them in a manner inconsistent with the preferences you have already agreed with them
  • If you have called Control AccoCalling them at work without permission or after telling them to stop
  • Talk about your Control Account dent with a relative or with your employer.Or try to contact your relatives or employer to inquire about your non payment of its debt.
  • It should not accept payments from you without your consent
  • Refuse to provide you time to evaluate your options after you have used the help of a Debt Management Company.
  • Force you to pay off a Control Account debt through borrowing ( by a bank loan or bond purchase) 

What actions can Controlaccount take?

Controlaccount is a debt collection agency and has the prescribed powers of debt recovery agencies Controlaccount cannot try to follow you or stalk your presence at inappropriate times by calling you. Any actions to unwillingly contact you or to misuse your personal information to invade your privacy rights will be avoided.

Control Account usually follows the legal course of action in tracking down debt defaulters.

Controlaccount can send agents to your home for debt collection if you do not pay but these are not the bailiffs sent to recover debts such as council tax. Neither do the agents sent by Control Account have the same debt collection powers as Bailiffs.

 Debt Collection agencies cannot and should not enter your home without permission and are not allowed to remove any personal possessions from your property. They should also leave if you ask them to do so.

Control account has to be given a county court ruling in its favour (and against you) in order to succeed in taking any of the following actions:

  • To issue a county court ruling against you
  • To send bailiffs to take belongings from your possession that are worth the value of the debt
  • To request an attachment to the debt collection order.

Could my Control account debts mean that I end up losing my home?

You will probably not end up losing your home, especially if it is your primary or sole residence. Other assets and possessions of lesser value will be used to pay off your debts first. So you might end up losing your car to pay for the debts.

Unsecured debts (meaning most of the debts Controlaccount faces) are unsecured against an asset.  But if you are overdue with your payments by a long period of time (say more than 6-8 months) ,”Controlaccount ” can request the court to recover the debt against the value of your property. This is done with a “Debt Recovery Order” which is granted after a successful county court ruling in “Control Account”’s favour.

Is my Control Account debt law prescribed?

Yes, The Limitation Act, 1980 specifies that some debts have to be paid within a given time limit. This limit is 6 years. The time for these 6 years begins from the last payment you made to your creditor or acknowledged the debt in writing. Beyond this stage, the debt can no longer be executed.

. All of the following conditions must be met for the statute of limitations to be expired:

  • The creditor has not registered a County Court Judgement (CCJ) for recovery of debts against you. This action has been despite not receiving any payments from you in the last 6 years (or however long the limitation period is in your case).
  • You have not admitted your guilt in writing over the past 6 years (or however long the statute of limitations is for your case).

You have the right to register a complaint with “Control Account plc” if it has sent you an incorrect claim. If Controlaccount or another debt collection agency sues you for a claim that you think is statute-barred you can send them a letter on the following postal address.
