Debt Recovery

Our debt recovery team understands that cash is king in terms of business success. Without prompt payment of invoices even the healthiest businesses can suffer.

We offer a comprehensive personalised debt recovery service which is tailored to each client's requirements and often involves nothing more than a carefully worded letter. Our service covers full debt support from issuing first reminders to securing ultimate payment via court proceedings. We can also help clients avoid many problems associated with debt collecting by advising on credit control systems and drafting standard conditions of trading.

Involving a lawyer at an early stage in disputes can often lead to a resolution of legal problems without the need to resort to the courts. Our debt recovery team will help you to assess your options and advise you in order to allow you to deal with disputes in the most efficient and profitable manner.

Choose Your Credit Account Customers Carefully

Use credit reference agencies or alternatively carry out County Court Judgment checks: do not give credit terms to those companies with poor credit records

Take Prompt Action

It is vitally important to monitor all credit account customers. At the first sign of default consider:

  • insisting on cash payments for any further orders
  • taking personal guarantees from directors (if not already in place)
  • speaking to your customers - chase the debt and set a clear final date for payment
  • taking back any goods you have supplied subject to a reservation of title agreement
  • instructing a lawyer to take prompt action to recover the debt

How We Can Help

Our debt recovery team can provide you with appropriate terms and conditions for your business, or check ones that you currently use and advise on any necessary changes. We can act promptly and cost effectively in suing customers who default. The sooner you instruct us, the more likely it is that we can recover the money you are owed. It may only take one letter. If a customer becomes insolvent we can also help protect your interests by liaising with the liquidator.
