Do you find that some business think that because you are in a different country, they can take their time to pay and make you wait for your money? It can be frustrating, can’t it? The right debt collector can help to solve this problem – without upsetting your customers.

We can help with:
A.  Bad Debt Prevention (avoiding the problem in the first place)
B.  Overdue Account Recovery (prompt payment, whilst retaining goodwill)
C.  Debt Litigation (if it comes to this, our litigation professionals will act for you)

“The service has proved to be everything that you said it would be, and we have already seen a huge benefit. We have had a number of overdue accounts paid promptly and directly to us, and it is also a huge weight off our mind to know that once we have passed an overdue payment over to you, you take care of everything whilst keeping us fully in the loop.” ~ Engineering company

“We have been a member of CPA since May 1994 and have been provided with an excellent service. The online system is user-friendly and efficient and provides status reports whenever required. Communications are always first rate. We have had a high success rate of debts resolved.” ~ Senior credit controller

If all of your British customers paid their invoices on time, running an export business would be much easier, wouldn’t it? In reality, you often have to wait for payment, leaving you short of money to invest in your business or even pay your bills. You also have to find the resources to cope with the extra administration caused by slow payers. In addition, the potential losses from customer liquidations and bankruptcies are stressful.

You might be concerned about contacting an overseas debt collection agency. What are they going to be like? Can they understand and help your business? There is no need to worry. We are polite, helpful and probably had direct experience of working with businesses from your country.

At The Credit Protection Association, we provide solutions, advice and back-up in all areas relating to the supply of services or goods on account to UK customers. You receive everything you need to reduce debtor days and write-offs from a single source.

By all means call us on  0800 634 0187 to discuss your UK  debt collection requirements in confidence. Alternatively, either email us or use this form:
