Pricing

Unlike many other outsourced credit control providers, our costs are calculated by time spent on your collections rather than per customer; we find that this is the fairest way to charge for our service as it enables us to keep the pressure on delinquent customers without having to halt collection activity because we have run out of chargeable time. Conversely, you don’t pay an additional premium when payment is received after only one contact with a customer. Our prices start from £597 + VAT per month.
