Ask for a detailed breakdown of the money owed. This should show where the debt has come from and how the balance is made up
Contact us immediately. We will run through a quick analysis of your financial situation.

What happens if I ignore debts that I have with The Business Centre?

If you ignore calls, texts and letters from your creditors then this can be escalated to bailiffs. If this is passed on to bailiffs, this will mean that you will no longer be dealing with your original lender. Bailiffs have more powers than your lender and can visit your home, repossess vehicles and property (if they have the relevant court order). If The Business Centre are chasing you for payment then the best action to take it to request professional advice. The longer you ignore your debts, often the less favourable the outcome is.

Can I stop The Business Centre from entering my property?

It is possible to slow down The Business Centre if you act quickly. If The Business Centre are trying to gain access to your property and vehicles, you should seek immediate professional advice. Without professional advice you can be left vulnerable to tactics which The Business Centre use, so it is important to know what your rights are.

What rights do I have to protect me against The Business Centre?

Bailiffs can sometimes have the right to force entry into your property if they have a court order for criminal fines such as not paying a TV license, HMRC debts, parking fines or income tax debts for example. You should check with The Business Centre to see what the origin of the debt is, if you are not aware.
