County Court Action

We work closely with local Solicitors to offer a comprehensive debt recovery service.  Our aim is to keep collection agency rates to a minimum however should an agreement be made to pursue county court action we request that Fees are paid upfront to cover court costs and Solicitors fees.

A full schedule of fees will be provided before any court action is commenced, keeping charges fully transparent throughout the whole process.  Of course, all court fees are payable by the debtor and the upfront money will be returned to you once our action has been succesful.

Additional Services – Credit checking

Our comprehensive debt recovery solution can provide your business with the extra protection it needs when considering new accounts, or simply monitoring current ones.  We find credit checking should be an integral part of credit control procedures – if not you can effectively be providing clients with interest free business loans, which is the banks job, not yours.  When companies think they can use your credit facilities for free, they will.

In today’s fragile economic climate, businesses have to protect against risky exposure and our credit checking facility enables a company to be as sure as it can that the business they are considering providing credit terms has the ability to pay.  This is why all our reports provide key financial information, such as credit limits, credit ratings, risk scores, failure odds, CCJs and Legal Notices to allow you as a business to make a considered judgement before discussing terms.  This early assesment, seperate from our collection agency rates, can offer piece of mind, and enable you to keep closer monitoring of risky clients with poor credit ratings.

Our credit check reports also advise on Company Directors, informing you if they have been involved with other failed companies or have been disqualified.
