Important Notice
If you are currently having problems with debt collectors, or if you suspect them of using illicit or unfair tactics, then please contact the BBC in complete confidence at the following email address:

Hillesden Securities is a debt purchasing company or debt collecting company listed in the website of DBSG (The Debt Buyers and Sellers Group) and/or mentioned in consumer finance forms. They have a legitimate function as debt collectors, but there is some indication that some such companies (not necessarily Hillesden Securities Ltd), and especially the debt purchasing element, go a bit too far sometimes and can make people's lives a misery when those same people are at their most vulnerable. We do not suggest that they are acting outside the law, but getting that letter or phone call is not exactly helpful to you right now.
So the first thing you must do if Hillesden Securities is bothering you is not to panic or despair. That's just what they want! They'd love you to call their number and speak to their specially trained sales team for 'advice'. But once you do that you'll be suggestible to whatever they tell you, instead of getting independent advice. While we always say that you should keep an open dialogue with debt collectors, we would recommend that you do so in writing only. This will prevent them 'railroading' you into any action which is not in your best interests, as they so love talking people into doing things on the spur of the moment. Of course, they are only doing their job, but that's hardly a consolation for you in the present situation.
There are several courses that are open to you, and some will suit your own situation better than others.
A sensible option, we would suggest, is a debt management plan or even an IVA - which is designed to actually write off a large chunk of your unsecured debt. But you would need to take advice on this and look at your income and expenditure in detail. This option won't suit everyone. There's more on this below.
For an alternative type of loan you could apply for a 'logbook loan' which many people find a very handy option. It is actually a loan secured on your car, except you get to keep the car and keep the cash as well! That's why some people find it such a good idea, as it unlocks the equity in your vehicle without taking away your means of transport (there's no need to sell the car). To apply for a logbook loan click here.
Yet another option is a no credit-check guarantor loan. This is especially useful because your own credit rating is not looked at; you must find someone else willing to act as a guarantor for you such as a friend or family member. This is an ideal solution if you're at the stage where your credit profile has been downgraded by recent events, etc. So click the following link for Unsecured Loans that don't need you to be credit checked.
If you wanted to try a debt management plan, then we provide a whole-of-market service, with a number of debt management experts on our panel. So whatever your circumstances, your application will find the plan for you, meaning the optimum outcome for your situation. It also means there are no minimum requirements for debt levels or income.
So apply for a debt management plan using the form below.

Hillesden Securities and the Truth About Your Debt
Hillesden Securities Ltd is a debt purchasing firm that has purchased your debt account from the original creditor, usually a bank (or in some cases another debt collecting agency) for much less than the value of the original account and is trying to get the full value from you.
Hillesden Securities Limited will use all sorts of methods to get money out of you in order to profit from your ignorance of the law. You may already have had bad dealings with them on the phone or by letter. They may phone you up when they know it is inconvenient for you and do this lots of times. They may send you official-looking sternly drafted letters threatening that they will come round to collect the amount in full or that they will take you to court. Their other tactics may involve attempting to make a charging order on your property or in some way bring about your destitution.
So ask Hillesden Securities for a copy of the original contract when you took out your loan or credit card.
To find out if you qualify for an IVA or can benefit from a debt management programme, try the IVA Test. It's free to apply, and again you are protected by the consumer laws regarding debt management at all stages. Click here to go to the application form.
More Data On Hillesden Securities
I quote from the excellent Consumer Action Group forum; "Hillesden Securities Ltd is part of the privately owned Faccenda Group, owned by Robin Faccenda, a chicken farmer with a £75million personal fortune, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. They trade as Direct Legal & Collections".
Hillesden Securities is the same company as Direct Legal & Collections. These twin bullies specialise in turning unsecured delinquent and written-off accounts into secured debts by means of court orders. All the better to terrorize people. The value of the delinquent debt thus processed is, of course, far greater than in its 'raw' condition, and debt purchasing companies regularly sell these more valuable types of account among each other to the detriment of everyone else. All the more reason why the securitization of delinquent accounts should be outlawed.
If you have any information that you would like honest people to know about Hillesden Securities then send us an email in complete confidence and we will try to corroborate it with the clowns involved.
