iQor Recovery Services Limited

Also known as: iQor Recovery Services; iQor; Akinika Debt Recovery (rebranded successor)

iQor Recovery Services Limited was a UK debt collection company. The business has since been rebranded to Akinika Debt Recovery. If you received correspondence from iQor Recovery Services in the past, any current collection activity would be under the Akinika brand.

Akinika provides debt collection services to financial services companies and other creditors. If you are currently receiving contact about a debt from Akinika or if you received past letters from iQor, the relevant contact details are available at akinika.co.uk.

Debt collection companies like Akinika must follow FCA rules on fair treatment and clear communication. If you have a debt being managed by Akinika, you have the right to ask for full written details of what you owe and why. If you believe the debt is incorrect, raise this in writing.

Free debt advice is available from StepChange on 0800 138 1111, National Debtline on 0808 808 4000, or Citizens Advice if you need help dealing with any debt collector. Akinika provides doorstep and remote collection services for a range of client organisations. If a field agent visits your home, remember that they do not have the same legal powers as enforcement agents or bailiffs. You do not have to let them in and you do not have to discuss the debt on the doorstep. You can ask them to correspond with you in writing only. If you believe the debt is incorrect or that the field agent behaved inappropriately, you can complain directly to Akinika or, if unresolved, to the Financial Conduct Authority. Free debt advice is available from StepChange on 0800 138 1111, National Debtline on 0808 808 4000, or Citizens Advice.
