Direct Legal and Collections (MyDLC) @ www.mydlc.co.uk

Direct Legal and Collections (often addressed as DLC) is a consumer debt collection agency that is part of Hillesden Securities Ltd. The larger owner is the Faccenda Group who date back to 1962 and they are widely known for their work in the poultry industry. The corporate website has been setup at www.dlcuk.com and then there is also MyDLC that is found over at www.mydlc.co.uk that is where any customer in arrears can quickly pay them. The introduction of MyDLC is actually a recent development from this company who previously used Santander Bill Payment to collect all such customer payments on the web.

There is a reference that Direct Legal and Collections started out in this industry by purchasing a debt in the year 1994 and so they have been involved in recovery for some time now. They have worked most frequently with financial creditors over the years. They have for instance forged a relationship with the popular credit card provider MBNA. The CSA listing for this company shows Bailiff & Process Serving, Court Action etc and so you won’t just hear of them through the post. Factoring UK market share, this firm ranks around the 15th mark and so they are certainly working with a high volume of customer accounts today.

The corporate info shared is limited, with them for instance not stating how big their organisation is, or how many accounts they deal with etc. The introduction of www.mydlc.co.uk has been a positive step forward though. This newly devised site is SSL secure and it comes fitted with logins. Any account queries can be raised on 01280 707500. The Faccenda Group has enjoyed great success since their introduction in 1962 although this has primarily derived from being the UK’s 2nd largest chicken processor. They have earned valued experience in consumer debt collection, but they aren’t quite troubling the big names on the market share front as yet.
