Are DCBL legitimate?
Yes, DCBL Bailiffs is a legitimate UK debt collection company with experience in recovering debts and enforcing County Court Judgements (CCJ).
They are registered with Companies House and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). If you have received a letter from DCBL, it is a genuine letter and an attempt to recover payment.
However, it is important to be aware of illegal practices by debt collectors and know your rights to protect yourself. If you are unsure about the legitimacy of a debt collection company, you can send a “prove the debt” letter to the company. If you cannot afford to pay, explore repayment plans, or seek help from debt charities.
Who do DCBL collect debts for?
Why are DCBL contacting me?
How will DCBL get in touch with me?
Their contact will usually start with them sending you basic letters requesting you get in touch with them by phone to arrange payment, but this can quickly escalate into letters threatening to visit your home.
To get in touch with DCBL, you can call their office number on 020 3298 02011. Alternatively, you can fill out the contact form on their website. If you have received a letter from DCBL, you can also ring the phone number on the letter you have received.
What should I do if DCBL are contacting me?
If DCBL are contacting you, the first thing you should do is take impartial advice from a specialist in dealing with debt collectors such as PennyPlan. Keep a copy of all and any letters that you receive.
How to deal with DCBL?
Don’t ignore the problem as it won’t go away. If a debt collector like DCBL is involved the issue needs dealing with. The first thing to understand is that you do owe the money you are being chased for. It is up to DCBL Recovery 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 use the templated letter we have included below.
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 several different ways to do so depending on eligibility.
Can DCBL take me to court?
Yes, DCBL can sometimes initiate court proceedings to encourage debt repayment if required, especially if you don’t respond by repaying the debt.
However, they can guide your original creditor to take court action if you keep ignoring their reach outs. If you have any concerns regarding DCBL, it is best to contact them directly to address your concerns.
Do HMRC use DCBL?
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is a UK government department responsible for the collection of taxes. DCBL is a UK-based enforcement company that provides debt recovery and enforcement services.
There is no direct evidence to suggest that HMRC uses DCBL for debt recovery. However, it is possible that HMRC could use DCBL’s services in the future if required.
Does DCBL affect credit score?
A lot of clients ask us the same question. If you are being contacted by DCBL this is because you have not kept up with your agreed repayments.
DCBL’s involvement alone does not directly affect your credit score. However, as they are a third-party debt collection agency, and their actions primarily involve trying to recover the debt on behalf of the creditor.
However, it can have negative consequences for your credit score if you fail to address the debt and it remains unpaid.
