Can CARS Debt visit you at home?
Yes. Although a debt collector doesn’t have the same rights under the law as an Enforcement Agent (bailiff). That said, the debt collector should give you a seven-day warning before visiting you at home.

That said, if there’s a court order for you to pay and you don’t, a bailiff could be instructed to visit you at home. Your possessions could be seized and sold at auction.
But only a bailiff can do this, not a debt collection agency!
How do you deal with intimidating CARS Debt Letters?
Most debt collection agencies which include CARS Debt send out intimidating letters designed to scare you. Don’t panic. Take your time to consider the situation before answering any correspondence.
If necessary, seek advice from an independent debt adviser who could tell you of your options.

Can you stop CARS Debt from calling you?
Debt collectors are not allowed to harass you. It’s the law. If you’re being called at all hours, get in touch with CARS and tell them to stop. Do it in writing and send the letter by registered post!
Tell them when they can call you and where they can call you.
Once you’ve made the request, the debt collection agency has to honour your request. If they don’t, they’d be breaking the law!
Can you get out of paying CARS Debt?
There are ways of getting out of paying CARS debt. First, is the debt statute-barred which means it’s over 6 years old. You can’t be chased when a debt is over this time limit!
That said, the debt doesn’t go away, it just means you can’t be forced to pay it! If this is the case, send the collection agency a Statute Barred letter instead of a ‘Prove the debt’ letter!
