Using a Debt Collector

[poopscoop]

Hi there,

Has anyone on here had success with recovering late payments using a debt collector?

Cheers

Have you tried every other method possible?

Have a look at The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2013 - Pay on Time

and maybe try their forums to see if anything similar to your situation is there

Hi northernladuk,

I'm currently on my third and final demand letter to them regarding The Late Payment Legislation. I'm just wondering what comes first, Debt Collector or going to Court/Money Claim Online?

Drop Safe Collections a message on here. I am sure they will come and give you some good advice. Could try the search option as described in the FAQ's to see what others have done.

We really need to know what the situation is to advise though. Will they pay late, won't they pay, can't they pay yadda yadda. All need different approaches. If they are being an arse a letter from your solicitor will normally put the willies up them. If they can't pay or are in contractual dispute then you would be wasting your time and money just demanding it and so on.

Ordinarily you would chase the debt yourself, then instruct a collections agent and if that fails then go to court. As the costs generally increase for each step.
