A Debt Collection Letter is a crucial document in the debt recovery process under English and Welsh jurisdiction. It serves as a formal attempt to recover outstanding payments while adhering to strict regulatory requirements set by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and relevant consumer protection legislation. The letter must strike a balance between assertiveness and compliance, including mandatory information about the debt, payment options, and debtor rights. It typically represents an important step before potential legal action and must be carefully drafted to maintain legal validity while avoiding harassment or unfair practices.
