One the most popular pages on our website is a snapshot of recent successful recoveries for our clients. In some cases, they make the difference between a business surviving or not. 

We recently took on a new client instruction and when we entered it on our system we realised the client was a past debtor that we had recovered a debt from, a back handed compliment if ever there was one! The good news is we recovered their debt within 5 days....the reason for non payment? Covid. So here's the the legal position on any customer of yours that's using Covid as an excuse for non payment.....they can't! You can of course use your own discretion on whether you extend terms of payment to any client but legally, you can request (demand) payment at any time once it falls due and your customer is legally obliged to pay (save for any genuine disputed element). This is not intended to be a sales pitch but if you do want to have a chat about the options available to you (not just from us) then feel free to get in touch.
