Here is a selection: Some are small concerns; a few are multinationals; some have been members for one or two years, others for twenty years or more; one or two even have Royal Warrants………

M/ship number 744680

"I have been very pleased with the ease of use and results achieved in chasing our more stubborn debts via CPA’s online system. Our valued customers have now recognised our ability to 'raise the bar' in collecting our money and also appreciate the courteous letter sent (to ex debtors) automatically from CPA after settlement of overdue accounts.

Ultimately we remain in control of any actions needed to be taken and because of CPA’s management we also now use the system to collect our sterling, euro and US dollar accounts with similar results. For us this is a comparatively inexpensive way of collecting our slower debts in the UK and elsewhere."
Finance Manager

M/ship number 743980

"We joined CPA almost two years ago and since that time have been pleased with the speed of payment from our delinquent small customers once they have received the CPA letters of demand. More useful to us however, has been the status monitoring of companies. We can see immediately if prospective customers are a risk and the daily monitoring keeps us aware of any change in status of any/all of our customers immediately. Thank you for selling us this excellent product."

M/ship number 745027

"We have used CPA since June 2007 and in the 15 months since then our debt days have reduced from 61 days to 50 days and we have reduced our debt by almost £250k. The CPA was easily integrated into our existing credit control procedures and assists greatly in extracting payment from slow payers. In most cases the debt is recovered without having to resort to court action. I would fully recommend the service."
Finance Director
Garage group
Lincolnshire
M/ship number 744751

"We had an ongoing issue with a main contractor in the construction industry. Following on from our initial meeting with the CPA, we subscribed to a one year service and actioned the first letter to be sent out; within two days we had their accounts department in the phone giving us a payment date. Two days later we received a cheque. From subscription to first payment took less than a week to retrieve a debt we had almost given up on and that amounted to 10 times our subscription fee! We have now been using the service for 3 months and have reduced our debtor days significantly. It provides us with the backing we need "
