What happens if I ignore Merion’s contact?

About your debt

We understand that contact about a debt can feel stressful, and that the instinct can be to set it aside. But an account that receives no response does not resolve itself — it simply escalates.

Escalation narrows the options available to you and can add cost. An unresolved matter may ultimately proceed to formal legal recovery. None of that is in your interest, and none of it is our preferred outcome either.

Responding early — even just to ask a question, dispute the amount, or explain that you need time — almost always leads to a better result. If you engage with us, we can work with you. The article on payment arrangements explains how we can help if paying in full is not possible right now.
