Credit Style Limited

Also known as: Credit Style

Credit Style Limited is a UK debt collection company that collects debts on behalf of creditors and debt purchasers. It acts as a collection agent rather than purchasing debts in its own right, meaning the debt is typically owned by the original lender or a debt purchaser who has engaged Credit Style to manage contact with customers.

If you receive letters or calls from Credit Style, a company you owe money to has asked them to contact you. The communication should make clear who the original creditor is. If it is not clear, ask for this information in writing.

Credit Style is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and must treat customers fairly, communicate clearly, and signpost customers to free debt advice. You have the right to receive accurate information about any debt being collected and to dispute a debt if you believe it is incorrect.

If you owe the debt and cannot pay in full, it is generally possible to agree an affordable payment plan. Contact Credit Style to discuss your situation, or seek free debt advice first to understand your options.

Free debt advice is available from StepChange on 0800 138 1111, National Debtline on 0808 808 4000, or Citizens Advice. These services are free and can help you deal with any debt collection situation.
