DCBL Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can DCBL come into my property to collect debts?
A. In no situation should you allow DCBL into your property, unless they have an order from the court. If they can present an order from the court then you are legally obliged to allow them access, although this is unlikely. This usually occurs in criminal fines, such as parking fines which have escalated due to non-payment.
Q. Can I write off my debts with DCBL?
A. If you have a total unsecured debt amount of over £6000, you may be able to write off your debts with an IVA. This can include your debts with DCBL and any other debts which you may have. An IVA is an Individual Voluntary Arrangement. An IVA usually lasts for 5 years. At the end of the 5 years the rest of your debt with DCBL will be completely written off.
Q. What companies do DCBL collect debts for?
A. As debt collectors and bailiffs can purchase debts from any lender, it can be difficult to identify who they are collecting money for.
