How it works

From unpaid invoice to money recovered

A simple, no-pressure process built around one goal — getting you paid by the route that makes the most sense for your case.

1

Tell us about the debt

Use the free case-review form or call an adviser. We ask for the essentials: how much is owed, who the debtor is, whether the debt is disputed, and what contact you’ve already had. Nothing you share is passed on without your say-so.

2

We assess and explain your options

We look at the realistic routes for your case — a letter before action, a statutory demand, a court claim, High Court enforcement or an agency-led collection — and set out what each typically costs, how long it takes, and how likely it is to work.

3

You choose the route

You decide how to proceed. Many creditors handle the first step themselves using our free guides and templates. Others prefer to hand it straight to a professional.

4

We introduce a vetted agency

If an agency is the right call, we match you to a suitable partner from our panel — chosen for the debt size, debtor type and jurisdiction. The introduction is free and there’s no obligation to instruct them.

5

You recover what you’re owed

The agency (or your chosen route) pursues the debt and keeps you updated. Most reputable commercial agencies work on a no-recovery, no-fee basis, so their fee comes out of what they collect.

What you can expect

No cost, no pressure, no jargon

  • Free to creditors — we’re paid by agencies when an introduction leads to work, never by you.
  • Impartial by design — we’ll happily tell you when you don’t need an agency at all.
  • Confidential — your details are only shared with an agency once you agree.
  • Vetted partners only — established, FCA-aligned agencies with a track record.

A quick note on regulation

Creditor Advice is an information and introduction service, not a debt collection agency or a law firm. Our guides are general information, not legal advice. For anything case-specific — especially disputed debts or insolvency — we’ll point you toward a qualified professional.
