Tactics used by Lucas Credit Services Limited

If Lucus Credit services have contacted you, you may be wondering what might happen next. It is good to understand how debt collectors work. They are paid minimally for their work and get a payment bonus when you pay your debt.

When contacting you by phone Lucas Credit may use an automatic call service. This means it can be programmed to continue to call you at whatever interval the debt collector decides.

This is an attempt to wear you down and get you to answer the phone. If you do answer the phone, then they may try the common ‘good cop, bad cop’ routine.

Don’t let Lucas Credit pressure you into paying more than you are able to, fill out this form for support. The first person you speak to will seem friendly and caring and may even try to offer information on how to handle the debt. Then either in the same call or on a different call, the tone will change to uncaring and unsupportive demanding the debt be paid in full.

If Lucas credit has tried to speak to someone else in your home, or someone at your work, this is against the guidelines they have to follow. Report these to the financial ombudsman service, stop the debt collection process.
