International Debt Collection
In our experience, it’s a myth that collecting from overseas debtors is more difficult than collecting from UK debtors. Indeed, for our team of foreign-national collectors based at our UK collections centre, there is no difference whatsoever. But, that’s because they speak the same language, and understand the local culture.
With the communication barrier lowered, access to a full recovery is opened, and the process of international debt collection is identical to that in the UK. We’ll speak with a senior executive at your debtor, ask why the account is still outstanding, resolve any spurious disputes, and leverage payment with the potential for costs and interest to be added, or for legal action to commence.
And, for you, this strategy increases the speed of collection, and reduces the cost of collection because:
- 72.5% of international collections are made by us from the UK saving you significant time and money
- We have our own offices in Europe, USA, Mexico and China
- We have 70 affiliate offices covering every continent
- We're the exclusive UK member of the European Collectors Association (ECA)
- We provide you with 24/7 access to Your Debts Online, where you can see exactly what we’re doing. And, when we have secured payment, we’ll have the funds cleared and remitted to you without delay.
