Don't be scared of this company .
LCS is debt collector based in Leeds the CEO is Andrew Barclay.
Firstly don't be scared of this company as their a debt collector not court baillifs nor do they have any association with the UK courts.
They have no legal powers in the UK to demand any money from you as your contract with the creditor not LCS.
All they can do is ask you for payment but you can legally refuse.
The company may issue you with letters but you can simply email them under a Cease and desist letter demanding they cease contact.
When you email them keep it simple only add the reference number and associated address no other personal details.
Make sure you keep any paper or email trail to show you email them
If you receive further letters from this company simply do not interact with them or provide them with any personal information as stated.
Your creditor are legally not allowed to pass your private details over to debt collector unless you give them permission as this breaches your GDPR and your creditor can be proscuted for this breach as your contract with them not LCS.
LCS have no legal powers like I stated the burden of proof of any debt claimed lies with your creditor and your legally not obligated to provide LCS with any information.
If LCS threatened you with door step collectors and if they turn up call the police straight away and inform the police that the door collector is demanding money under fraudulent means. These people are not court enforcement baillifs and their legally not allowed on private property.
If they threatened you with court this simply means that the company will issue a N1 form to the courts this is nothing to worry about as all their saying to the court they think you owe this money. The burden lay with them not you. All they can claim is CCJ.
The civil court will write to you asking you to respond. Simply complete the form outlining why you think this debt not owed and provide as much information as you can.
Also contact your creditor and stipulate that you have no intention of working with a third party LCS .
Ask your creditor under subject access request to supply you with any call, emails and full account details if they fail they are in breach of the law as the burden of proof lay with them not you.
You can can ask for information going back 7 years for private company or 15 years if it's a council.
Inclosing once you send Cease and desist letter to the LCS they must cease contact and return the account back to your creditor.
