Freedom of Information: Right to know request:

Could you please provide a list of FCA registered debt collection and debt servicing companies in the UK?

"List of FCA registered debt collection and debt servicing companies in the UK - April 2021"

https://www.fca.org.uk/freedom-information/list-fca-registered-debt-collection-and-debt-servicing-companies-uk-april-2021

I would please like to request an updated version in 2024.

FCA response:

Please find attached in Annex A an updated list of all firms which were authorised with permission for regulated activities debt-collecting and/or debt administration on 2 April 2024.

Please note:

•      The regulated activities debt-collecting and debt administration are broad. Most firms with these permissions would not be considered ‘debt collection’ or ‘debt servicing’ firms.

•      The list does not include authorised firms which act as debt purchasers but do not hold permission for either debt-collecting or debt administration.

•      The list does not include firms which are not authorised because they are appointed representatives or carry out similar activities which are not regulated.
