Debt Recovery
We all accept that cash-flow can make or break a business. We also all encounter slow payers, non-payers or disputed debts from time to time. Knowing what to do about them, however, can require some expert advice.
Services For Your Business
We all accept that cash-flow can make or break a business. We also all encounter slow payers, non-payers or disputed debts from time to time. Knowing what to do about them, however, can require some expert advice.
Acting for you we can advise you and even keep the pressure on debtors for you to help secure the earliest possible payment.
You might benefit from distancing your staff from debt-recovery issues so that they can continue to work with customers on an amicable basis. We are experienced in dealing with problem customers and are able to approach the issue objectively. It might be worth considering which customers pay more quickly if pressure is applied and only outsource your old debts to us. Whatever your situation we’ll work with you to agree a plan that you feel comfortable with but is also commercially led.
We are trained to overcome objections and resolve disputes efficiently, using all reasonable methods of persuasion to make sure that you get the maximum return. Where we differ from non-solicitor debt recovery agencies, however, is that if things do have to go to court, we have the expertise to work with you at every stage of the process. We can advise on all forms of enforcement including instructing bailiffs, securing your judgment against property and other forms of recovering money.
"Its been refreshing to deal with somebody as professional and efficient as yourself, especially your prompt communication throughout. These seem to be rare attributes these days."
"James dealt with matters very efficiently and empathetically and always answered telephone calls and queries the same day - excellent communication from him."
Often issuing a solicitors letter does the trick on its own. We can do this for £50 plus VAT just contact our business disputes team. If it goes further than this we’ll advise you at the start whether the likely cost of recovering the debt makes it financially worthwhile proceeding. If, down the line, there are any court and legal fees involved in legal action we will ensure that you claim your full entitlement back under the court rules.
