We are Lantern.
Let’s face it, debt is never easy. When it comes to debt collection, we believe there’s a better way – one that involves treating our customers with the empathy and respect that they deserve.

Since 2008, we’ve helped over 2.5 million people clear their debt with us in a way that is sympathetic and flexible. We put our customers in control. We take the time to get to know them so that, together, we can create an affordable and sustainable repayment plan to set them on the pathway to becoming debt free. Our efforts haven’t gone unnoticed, and we’ve been awarded with the Investors in Customers 2023 GOLD standard for our dedication and ongoing commitment to customer care. For us, it’s quite simple: we choose to treat our customers the way we would want to be treated.
