How to deal with Bristow & Sutor?
Don’t ignore the problem as it won’t go away. If a debt collector like Bristow & Sutor is involved the issue needs dealing with. The first thing to understand, is that you do actually owe the money you are being chased for. It is up to Bristow & Sutor to prove that this is the case.
This should be proven by them providing the original credit agreement with your signature on it. You can request this either over the phone if you do decide to take their call or if you would rather not speak to them you can also send this request off in writing to them.
It is very important when you communicate with them if you do so by post, you should type your name instead of signing it. This is so you do not provide them with a new copy of your signature, and they can only provide this if they do have an original credit agreement proving you owe the debt.
If you do not owe the debt, you should receive communication from Bristow & Sutor to state they have dropped this claim against you and they will no longer be chasing you regarding this debt.
If you do genuinely owe the debt, then you should look at ways to pay it back and we can help you explore your options as there are a number of different ways to do so depending on eligibility.

Can Bristow & Sutor take me to court?
Yes. If you ignore your unpaid debt or refuse to come to a payment arrangement with Bristow & Sutor, it’s possible that they will take you to court. In this scenario, debt collectors will usually seek a County Court Judgement against you. Any debt collector can take you to court if you owe them money however, there are strict legal processes in place which they must follow before it would get to that stage.
Initially, they are required to send you a warning letter, typically in the form of a default notice, to inform you of their intention to take legal action. It is crucial to take prompt action upon receiving a default notice to prevent the situation from escalating. A default can harm your credit score.
Once a default notice has been issued, and only after that, a debt collection agency can serve you with a claim form. Subsequently, a County Court Judgment (CCJ) may be issued against you, which will remain on your credit report for a duration of seven years.
We would always recommend getting in touch with the debt collector before it gets to this stage to see if you can deal with things before they escalate any further. We can help you deal with this process, and we can discuss which debt solutions can offer legal protection which will stop legal proceedings if they have not already too far gone. The key part of this process is speaking with us as soon as possible to see what options you have.
