Could you legally write off some debt?

There are several debt solutions in the UK, choosing the right one for you could write off some of your unaffordable debt, but the wrong one may be expensive and drawn out.

Answer below to get started.

How much debt do you have?

This isn’t a full fact find. MoneyNerd doesn’t give advice. We work with The Debt Advice Service who provide information about your options.

Who uses a PO BOX 795 Telford TF7 9GG address?

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) uses the PO Box 795 Telford TF7 9GG address. Things get confusing because the Government website also lists other addresses for the DWP. So you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a scam when the letter arrives.

Why would you get a letter from the DWP?

You could get a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions for several reasons. However, when the return address on the envelope or letter is PO Box 795 Telford, chances are it’s about a DWP debt!

The department responsible for chasing debts is DWP Debt Management!

How a debt solution could help

Some debt solutions can:

  1. Stop nasty calls from creditors
  2. Freeze interest and charges
  3. Reduce your monthly

A few debt solutions can even result in writing off some of your debt.

Here’s an example:


Situation

Monthly income £2,504
Monthly expenses £2,345
Total debt £32,049

Monthly debt repayments

Before £587
After £158

£429 reduction in monthly payments

Should you respond to DWP Debt Management?

Yes. You should respond to DWP Debt Management when they contact you. However, you could phone them on their 0800 916 0647 number rather than reply in writing to the Telford address.

You can phone the department if you’re worried about sending a response to an address you don’t recognise.

Can you ignore a letter from PO Box 17 Stockport SK1 4AJ?

No. You shouldn’t ignore any letters from the Department for Work and Pensions. You could be setting yourself up for a fall if you do. For example, the DWP could take you to court to recover the amount owed!

» TAKE ACTION NOW: Fill out the short debt form

You should stay in touch with the DWP and discuss your options rather than ignore their correspondence.

It makes for a better and more positive outcome!

Will DWP send debt collectors?

No. The Department of Work and Pensions doesn’t use debt collectors to recover outstanding amounts. When you don’t get in touch with the DWP and you don’t pay, court action is the next step in the process!

When a court orders you to pay and you don’t, enforcement officers (bailiffs) are authorised to contact you. In short, you’d have to deal with the bailiffs who could seize goods to recover the debt!

An attachment could be placed on your earnings!

Are DWP debts ever unenforceable?

Yes. But it rarely happens! Plus, the debt must be at least six years old to be statute barred and there are criteria which must be met. These are:

  • You haven’t paid anything toward the debt in the six years
  • You never admitted owing the debt in the six years
  • There isn’t an existing CCJ against you over the debt

Although the debt is statute-barred and therefore unenforceable, it doesn’t vanish. In fact, it stays on your credit file even when it’s statute barred.

How do I contact the DWP?

I’ve listed ways you can contact the DWP here:

Telephone number 0800 731 0469
For the hearing  impaired Relay UK 18001 then 0800 731 0469
Debt Management dept 0800 916 0647
Textphone: 0800 731 0464
