Because I am very lazy, wondered if anyone knew if 1st Credit have recently ( like within the last week ) changed their name or been sold off to Intrum ? And is Intrum the old Intrum Justita ?
Just opened my post and have a letter from Intrum thanking me for a payment I made to 1st Credit last week. No assignment or notification of the change, only when calling the phone number did I hear that 1st Credit are now Intrum....

Acquisition of 1st Credit
In November 2016, Intrum Justitia AB (publ) entered into an agreement to acquire 1st Credit, a mid-sized purchased debt company in the United Kingdom. 1st Credit has a strong operation for collection of financial receivables and is one of few companies in the UK that are regularly invited to most of the panels where banks and financial companies invite selected buyers to purchase portfolios. 1st Credit has invested successfully to adapt to increased regulation in the UK market and it has received several awards as the most compliant debt collection company in the industry. The acquisition is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2017.
