Important Notice: If you are currently having problems with debt collectors, or if you suspect them of using illicit or unfair tactics, then please contact the BBC in complete confidence at the following email address: ***** (United Kingdom enquiries only, please) Mackenzie Hall Ltd is a debt purchasing company or debt collecting company listed in the website of DBSG (The Debt Buyers and Sellers Group) and/or mentioned in consumer finance forms. They have a legitimate function as debt collectors, but there is some indication that some such companies (not necessarily Mackenzie Hall), and especially the debt purchasing element, go a bit too far sometimes and can make people's lives a misery when those same people are at their most vulnerable. We do not suggest that they are acting outside the law, but getting that letter or phone call is not exactly helpful to you. So the first thing you must do if Mackenzie Hall is bothering you is not to panic or despair. That's just what they want! They'd love you to call their number and speak to their specially trained sales team for 'advice'. But once you do that you'll be suggestible to whatever they tell you, instead of getting independent advice. While we always say that you should keep an open dialogue with debt collectors, we would recommend that you do so in writing only. This will prevent them 'railroading' you into any action which is not in your best interests, as they so love talking people into doing things on the spur of the moment. Of course, they are only doing their job, but that's hardly a consolation for you in the present situation. What To Do If You Get A Nasty Letter or Phone Call From Mackenzie Hall Ltd: If you have any information that you would like honest people to know about Mackenzie Hall Ltd then send us an email in complete confidence and we will try to corroborate it with the clowns involved.

By Andrew Penman on April 21, 2009 (Daily Mirror newspaper). Debt collection firm MacKenzie Hall has been told to clean up its act. An investigation by The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) found that "some of its business processes failed to meet satisfactory standards". Now MacKenzie Hall, based in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, must not pursue a debt where it has been notified in writing that there is reasonable cause to believe that the debt is in dispute.
