Debt Recovery Services
Our nationwide team can help you with all aspects of debt recovery.
Debt due to overdue payments for goods and services correctly supplied can be crippling for any business, regardless of sector or size. While customers have the right to receive goods or services within agreed deadlines, it is your right to be paid on time. We deliver swift and efficient debt recovery results on your behalf, giving your business a competitive edge.
Good commercial practice starts with an effective credit control policy protecting your cash flow. Without this, your business may suffer from reduced profitability, cash flow problems and even insolvency.
We act as an extension of your business’s credit control procedures. Before taking any action on your behalf we take the time to get to know your business, your debtors and your relationship and history with them.
We understand the frustration you feel, and the time lost by chasing late payments. Before your frustration turns to anger, why not invite our debt experts to recover your money for you, saving you time and undue aggravation.
We know from experience that our focused approach gets results to recover outstanding debts.

Civil recovery
As part of our service to clients we offer civil recovery actions.
In the current financial climate there has been an increase in our clients who have seen their businesses threatened by the criminal intention to thieve.
It is a common misconception that if a company recovers its property following a theft, it has not suffered a loss! The recovery of property does not take into account the costs incurred in apprehending the perpetrator and the costs incurred putting in place measures to prevent future thefts. As part of the Civil Recovery process, a company may seek to recover all of its consequential losses.
It is not just because of theft of your property that your business may experience problems. Any act carried out on your premises, resulting in criminal proceedings being brought by you against the perpetrator, may then give rise to civil recovery proceedings.
Our experienced team offers a diligent and efficient service to all our clients with respect to civil recovery proceedings. Our team will consider all action necessary to obtain maximum results, on your behalf, whilst always consulting with you. Our fees are agreed in advance of any instructions being undertaken and can be agreed on a fixed amount. There are no hidden costs. We utilise the latest technology to locate any perpetrators and provide regular and prompt reporting of case updates to our clients.
Commercial property recovery
If you have decided you want your property back, we’re here to help you obtain possession. The only way to achieve this quickly and efficiently is to get the procedure right.
Primarily, possession actions require the correct service of a notice, issuing of proceedings and the production of witness evidence before the court. Whilst most possession actions arise as a result of a tenant failing to pay rent, rent arrears are just one of many reasons why possession actions are started and there are many different ways of terminating residential and commercial tenancies.
Whatever the reason for seeking possession we have the knowledge and expertise to act on your behalf and obtain an order for possession to get your property back.
