Manifesto

Manifesto

The Credit Services Association - the official body representing the UK debt collection industry - has launched a Manifesto calling for a radical review of legislation and regulation that concentrates too much on the rights of the consumer, and not enough on their duties to fulfil their financial obligations.

It is also challenging the government to tackle the issue of ‘information sharing’ - the biggest problem impacting the recovery of debt being the lack of rightful access to information about debtors who have wilfully absconded or disappeared so as to evade their debt obligations.

Industry Report 2007

Industry Report 2007

“Inside the Industry” – the 2007 Debt Digest, has been produced by the CSA to monitor and provide specific industry information which can be found nowhere but in this report.  From revealing the total amount of debt passed to debt collection agencies for recovery, to offering forecasts on how the market will evolve in the future, Inside the Industry has one key goal: to open the door and let you in on insider information and insight to business activity, trends and data within the field of debt recovery.
 
The amount of debt passed to debt collection agencies for recovery has more than trebled in the last six years to £21 billion comprising £15 billion of ‘traditional’ debt (i.e. commission debt) with the balance coming from the fastest growing sector within the collections industry - debt sale and purchase – that last year (2007) accounted for some £7 - £8 billion.
