UK Debt Recovery

As a small business, any interruption to your cash flow could have a major impact. Dealing with unpaid invoices and bills can be incredibly stressful and time-consuming. Professional Legal Collections works with you to take positive action and help you get back your money. Our team successfully recovers debt in excess of £750,000 every year.

International Debt Recovery

We regularly handle international debt recovery cases. Our team tracks debtors down around the world, across Europe, the US, South Africa, Asia – and beyond. Most countries have a reciprocal agreement to recognise judgments from different countries. We liaise with partner agencies to enforce the judgment and recover your debt.

Enforcement

There are a variety of different ways you can ‘enforce’ a judgment and recover your money. We will advise you on the most appropriate action, depending on the amount of debt and the circumstances of the debtor. Once you have decided how to proceed, we will manage the process on your behalf, making sure you get your money back as quickly as possible.

Tracing

To start the recovery process you need to know where the debtor is. As part of our debt recovery package, we offer a tracing service. This is particularly useful for landlords if a tenant has absconded. We track and trace people across the UK and all over the world, achieving a 90% success rate.

Have we contacted you?

Fair and fixed fees

Our fees are some of the most cost-effective around and work on a percentage basis.  Initially a base fee of 10% of the debt is charged (please note, there is a minimum fee of £50 and a maximum fee of £5,000) followed by a percentage recovery fee payable once we have recovered the debt.  Where a matter is contested it will be necessary for additional work to be undertaken at our standard hourly rates.  You will also be responsible for any disbursements incurred including court fees and searches.

Our percentage recovery fees are as follows:

  • Debts up to £5,000.00 – 10% plus VAT
  • Debts up to £15,000.00 – 8% plus VAT
  • Debts up to £50,000.00 – 5% plus VAT
  • Debts up to £1,000,000.00 – 3% plus VAT
  • Debts over £1,000,000.00 – 1% plus VAT

In the event we are unable to recover the debt there will be no recovery fee payable.

Really appreciated all the hard work these guys provided. They understood the legal situation so well, and made everything clear for us along with firmly fighting our case. Very professional, and very helpful. Would highly recommend

Colin

The team at PLC have been fantastic! I have never had to deal with a legal matter before this occasion and from taking initial advice about my case to the final outcome, everyone has played a part.

A particular thank you to Emma who explained clearly each step of the process and put my mind at ease on a difficult matter. Removing the jargon and explaining everything clearly. Not to mention all of the correspondence and legal representation were incredibly impressive.

Thank you everyone at PLC Debt.

I had some unpaid invoices and could not get an answer from the client in question. After several attempts, I felt I had no other option than to take action to recover the amount owed. I spoke with Martin from PLC debt and explained the situation in detail. Martin then advised me that this is something that he would be able to deal with and with that, I passed over all of the information that I had. This took place on the Thursday morning. I had an email on the Friday morning from Martin to say that a letter had been sent to the client. I expected this would take a few weeks to resolve, maybe even months but I was wrong! The payment hit my account on the Tuesday!! Martin and his team were extremely efficient from the initial contact and kept me informed of progress throughout. I can’t recommend this company enough. Thanks to the team at PLC Debt for your help and making this a pain free process. I will definitely be using these again when needed and have already recommended to several people
