About us

Who is PRA Group?

PRA Group is one of the UK’s largest buyers of debt accounts (nonperforming loans). PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd purchases debt accounts from reputable high street banks and other institutions, and frontline colleagues in PRA Group (UK) Limited manage these accounts as team members of the appointed servicer. As debt solution specialists, we work with our customers to help them resolve their debt in an affordable way that works with their budget. We are focused on doing business with a highly ethical code of conduct.

Our goal is to make debt repayment fair and affordable.

High standards for how we treat people.

We know that no one wants to find themselves in debt, and we're committed to helping our customers figure a way out.

We collaborate with and help to fund the leading UK debt advice organisations, and are the official sponsor of the not-for-profit Money Advice Liaison Group's (MALG) 'Members Friday Forum' for 2024.

More recently, we signed up for The Inclusive Economy Partnership Debt Collection Code of Practice, which is a Government led initiative for better and fairer debt collection processes.

Debt happens, so can recovery.

How did PRA Group get my account?

When banks and finance companies have a customer account that goes into default, they will, at times, sell that account to a debt purchaser like PRA Group. This is good news, as we specialise in working with customers to help them resolve their debt and repair their credit history.

How does the PRA Group debt repayment process work?

When banks and finance companies have a customer account that goes into default, they will often sell that account to a debt purchaser like PRA Group. The contractual agreement you had with your original provider has been transferred to PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd and you now owe the debt to PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd. PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd has instructed PRA Group (UK) Limited to manage your account on its behalf. This is good news, as PRA Group specialises in working with customers to help them resolve their debt and repair their credit history.

We are here to help you understand the process and your options. Most importantly, we are committed to working together to come to the most appropriate resolution, and any payment plans we agree should be both sustainable and affordable.

We will work with you however you are most comfortable, and you can choose how to manage your account: online on this website, over the phone, by email, SMS or live chat.
