I found the links below on another website and it does not look good for UK and they have now in Ireland, it seems that one big company will have control of almost everything and I expect that they will use their powers to the max.

Lots of council are using them in the UK for their call centres and it appears from what I have read....when people phone up they are now transferred to capita services.

Where does Capita enter this debate? I understood this thread to concern an ACC loan. Have their collections been outsourced?
 
Capita owns debt collection company Equita.

In the UK many local authority employs Capita in their call centres and also the same LA get a percentage of what is collection by the bailiffs and these bailiffs do not adhere to their guidelines. 12 Councils in UK have taken tax payers to court for 1p outstanding. I will try and post link if I can later.

I am aware that the Ireland has different guidelines/laws regarding debt collectors companies.
