  • 1st Credit - now Intrum ?

    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....


    https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/04140507 Change of name at Companies House dated 1st March - wonder if that's why they accepted a 70% discount ?


    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.

    Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

      haha sorry.... I decided I'm too lazy to wait for a reply as well...

      Just a bit odd receiving a letter from Intrum, with absolutely no explanation whatsoever of the change of name .... it's only because I only had one debt and it was quite a big payment that I know what they are talking about, otherwise it could have confused crap out of me, so is likely to confuse others. There is absolutely no reference to 1st Credit whatsoever.

            Dunno that's what I was wondering...? It is same company in essence, just change of owner and name ... but really you'd think they'd explain that in the first letter sent after the change.
