What we can do for you

We will recover your outstanding loans with integrity and innovation, whilst protecting your reputation.

We promote engagement with your customers to arrange affordable and sustainable payment arrangements. Any payment arrangements are monitored using the latest technology to ensure prompt payment and minimise default rates.

When payment arrangements are not achievable, we work closely with you to assess the commercial viability of issuing legal proceedings, and to determine the most appropriate and cost-effective enforcement method.

Our service compliments and supports your in-house credit control teams. From initial consultancy and customer data cleansing to issuing legal and enforcement proceedings and insolvency support, we provide a full, proven package of recovery methods, that are cost-effective and produce exceptional results including:

  1. Pre-legal collections

    This service provides an integrated and extensive pre-legal collections cycle.

    It incorporates a combination of letters, outward-bound telephony, text messages, and emails to attempt to engage with your customer and encourage payment or settlement of the outstanding balance.

    • no success, no fee trace reports;

    • pre-sue reports;

    • employment checks;

    • company reports; and

    • consumer and commercial identity checks.

  3. Legal debt recovery

    If our collections cycle fails to generate a successful settlement or repayment, then a full risk assessment is undertaken to assess the viability of issuing court proceedings. Using this information, our debt recovery are able to make a more informed decision as to whether to issue proceedings and advise on the most effective form of enforcement.
