Even with the best credit control policies in place, most businesses experience debtors who fail to pay for goods delivered or services provided.
Payment delays ultimately cause thousands of businesses to fail but prompt action can be the key to successful recovery.
We offer a simple and cost effective way of collecting your debts.
Our tailor-made debt recovery package enables us to recover your debts effectively and at minimal cost to you.
With our team’s specialist knowledge of court procedures, we can guide you through the debt recovery process, maximising the potential to secure the payment of money owed to your business.
Our Fees
Our prices are fair and transparent. We do not charge either an administration fee at the outset or a charge linked to the percentage of debt recovered.
For uncontested cases, our charges are on a competitive, fixed fee basis (of which the majority can be recovered from the debtor).
If the claim is disputed, our special discounted hourly rate for Contested Debt Recovery Work of just £145 per hour plus VAT will apply.
In addition, if you require us to negotiate a simple settlement and/or instalment plan, we will charge a fixed fee of £45 plus VAT.
