ONS figures for each year, not adjusted for inflation. Years before 2021 used a different occupation classification, so they can't be compared. Earlier years are ONS's revised figures; the latest is provisional.
ONS didn't publish salary figures for Collector salespersons and credit agents in 2026: too few full-time employees were in the survey sample for a reliable estimate. This is common for jobs where many people are self-employed, because the survey only covers employees.
The wider group Sales Related Occupations (SOC 712) has a median of £32,903 a year.
ONS did publish a mean of £34,721, which is less reliable than a median would be.
