Debt Recovery

Debt Recovery for Haulage and Logistics businesses

Our Haulage and Logistics clients are often faced with the situation where a customer does not pay.

In some cases, it may be a customer who has been with them for a long time and with whom they thought they had a good relationship.

Sometimes because of this, credit facilities have gone over terms long before they notice an issue with payment.

But that should not stop you from getting paid.

We work hard to recover the monies due without damaging the all-important customer relationships and reputation of your business.  We will talk to your customer and investigate options and ways in which they will be able to pay what they owe you, whilst maintaining the undisputed loyalty they will have to you and your business.

Key debt recovery ‘danger points’ for haulage and logistics businesses

  • Complex billing structures involving multiple drop offs for different customers
  • Long payment cycles leading to cash flow problems
  • Dependence on key clients which increases the risk should one of them fail
  • Rising operating costs increasing pressure on cash flow
  • Lack of in-depth credit checks – in particular for one-off jobs

Ways in which we help haulage and logistics businesses with debt recovery

Quite simply we will take over the tricky issue of collecting monies you are owed.

We often find that because we are not directly associated with the haulage business, we can talk more frankly to your customers, often delivering results.

We can also help with your account opening and credit control procedures – suggesting options that may reduce the frequency of customers who cause you problems.

Why use a solicitor to manage your outstanding wholesaler debts?

  • It shows your debtors that you mean business. Often a chat or Solicitor's Demand Letter will prompt payment or a discussion about settlement of an outstanding debt.
  • It releases you to concentrate of what you do best – running your business.
  • A solicitor can take matters further should the customer not be forthcoming with payment – not all debt recovery agencies can do this.

Extra help when you need it

We can also help with disputes involving claims for ‘set off’, lost or damaged goods, late deliveries, third-party and sub-contracting claims.
