Zinc Group Ltd

Also known as: Zinc Group; The Zinc Group; Zinc

Zinc Group Ltd is a UK debt collection and credit management company. It provides collection services to businesses in sectors including utilities, telecoms, financial services, and local government. Zinc acts as an agent collecting debts on behalf of other companies rather than purchasing debts itself.

If you receive letters or calls from Zinc Group, a company you have an unpaid balance with has asked Zinc to contact you. The communication should identify who the original creditor is.

Zinc is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and must follow FCA rules on fair treatment of customers. They must communicate clearly and accurately, and must not use threatening or misleading tactics.

You have the right to ask for written confirmation of the debt details. If you dispute the debt, raise this in writing. If you owe the debt but cannot pay in full, contact Zinc to discuss an affordable arrangement. Free debt advice is available from StepChange on 0800 138 1111, National Debtline on 0808 808 4000, or Citizens Advice. If you believe you are being treated unfairly by Zinc Group or any debt collector, you have the right to complain. Start with the company itself, then escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service if the complaint is not resolved. Keeping a record of all communications with a debt collector is good practice. If you are unsure whether a debt is genuine, whether it is the correct amount, or whether it is too old to be enforced, Citizens Advice or National Debtline can give you free guidance. You are never obliged to pay a debt collector before checking that the debt is legitimate and that you are being pursued within the rules.
