Debt Collection

The advantages of using an agency are that:

  • They have the time, expertise and resources needed for the job.
  • It can be a fast method of recovering debts so will save you time.
  • If the debt collection agency is polite and professional, you may retain the customer - assuming you want to. This is unlikely to be the case if you take legal action.
  • The agency can instruct solicitors on your behalf if the customer still refuses to pay.

The disadvantages are that:

  • the commission on the money recovered is typically 8 to 10 per cent for commercial debts
  • you may lose the customer
  • if the agency is heavy-handed, your reputation may be damaged
