Getting Paid

 

The non-payment of invoices by your clients can prove to be a real headache and the effect on cash flow can also be costly - especially if you have incurred outlays.

 

Passing unpaid invoices to an ordinary collection agent or firm of solicitors can be equally frustrating. You can find yourself spending extortionate amounts on fees, whilst having no idea where your money is going and feeling as if you have lost control over the debt recovery process.

 

This is where Chamberlain McBain can help. Unlike many other organisations you could instruct, Chamberlain McBain appreciates the need to communicate with the client at every stage and to obtain authority before commencing any action or instructing Sheriff Officers.

 

Communication, not only with the client, but also with the debtor is seen as a key to both successful recovery and in resolving disputes that may arise. You remain in total control of the process throughout. We always bear in mind that the methods used to collect unpaid invoices must not only reflect your relationship with the defaulting client but also preserve the image of your organisation as a whole.

 

Having Chamberlain McBain to assist with the recovery of unpaid invoices will help free up your resources, reducing the precious time you must spend on chasing up unpaid bills. Furthermore, we work to recover your debts fast and efficiently, at minimal cost to yourself. Chamberlain McBain does not charge you a percentage of the debt recovered, only fee for the work actually done, so should settlement be received as a result of just one letter, then you will only be charged for that letter. In addition, as far as possible, we limit costs to those recoverable from the debtor.

 

Mr Gerald Murphy, our Debt Recovery Manager, joined us from Brodies in Edinburgh. His success in managing their Debt Recovery Department is well-documented. Consequently, Gerald is very well versed in all methods of debt recovery, including proceedings in the Sheriff Court, all forms of commonly used diligence, Sequestration (Bankruptcy) and Winding-up.
