Asset Link Capital (No. 5) Limited

Also known as: Asset Link Capital; Asset Link Capital No.5

Asset Link Capital No. 5 Limited is a UK debt purchasing vehicle. Companies like this are often special purpose entities used to hold portfolios of purchased consumer debt. They buy unpaid debts from financial services companies and other creditors.

If you receive correspondence relating to a debt owned by Asset Link Capital, it means a debt you had with another company has been sold. The letter should identify the original creditor and the account details. You have the right to ask for a full written breakdown of the debt and a copy of the original credit agreement.

Debt purchasers are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and must treat customers fairly, provide accurate information, and signpost customers to free debt advice services.

If you dispute the debt or believe it is incorrect, raise this in writing. If the debt is old, it may be statute barred under the Limitation Act 1980. Citizens Advice can help you check this.

If you owe the debt but cannot pay in full, it may be possible to agree a payment arrangement. Free debt advice is available from StepChange on 0800 138 1111, National Debtline on 0808 808 4000, or Citizens Advice at no cost.
