What happens if PRAC can’t prove the debt is yours?
You may get out of paying if PRAC can’t prove the debt is yours. Moreover, any proof they provide must be authenticated by the original creditor. Or a body that’s authorised to authenticate it!
What happens if PRAC proves the debt is yours?
You may have to pay if PRAC provides you with authenticated proof the debt is yours. That said, try to negotiate an affordable repayment plan with the debt collector.
PRAC must give you time to seek debt advice, so get in touch with one of the free debt advice charities before you agree, sign or pay anything!
Can you ignore PRAC Financial Debt Collection?
No. You shouldn’t ignore their correspondence even when you feel PRAC is wrong to contact you. The situation would only get worse if court proceedings are taken out against you.
Moreover, when you ignore PRAC, you could be missing out on:
- Finding out the debt isn’t yours
- Discovering the debt is over six years old and therefore statute barred
- Being offered an affordable repayment plan
Then, of course, ignoring PRAC could lead to:
- PRAC starting legal proceedings to recover the debt
- Having a CCJ on your credit history will ruin your credit rating
