Clough & Willis Solicitors launch new Debt Recovery Service from £2 per letter


01 October 2009

In a bid to help business owners improve their cash flow Clough & Willis Solicitors is now offering to recover debts for businesses from as little as £2.

In the current economic environment, all businesses face the risk that customers, whether they are companies or individuals, may go bust still owing them money. Over the last year, we have seen a number of household brands go into liquidation leaving their suppliers or creditors out of pocket. The chances are that once secured creditors such as banks are paid there will be no money left in the pot to pay unsecured creditors.

Clough & Willis has a well established debt recovery department boasting a team of full time debt recovery specialists who are all experienced in recovering both individual and bulk debts. Working on a national basis, they operate across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Clough & Willis experienced debt recovery specialists work closely with clients by acting as an extension of their finance department. This means that clients are kept constantly informed on the developments of their own case allowing them to focus on running their business.

The team operates with no set up charge, no commission charge, no percentage charge and no hidden extras so collecting unpaid debts could not be easier. In addition, unlike some debt collection agencies, Clough & Willis is a reputable firm of solicitors that was established in 1904. The firm operates in a professional and fair manner, which means clients will not have to risk their reputation of being involved with heavy handed and intimidating debt collection tactics.

An initial "letter before action" from a solicitor is usually enough to prompt immediate payment but should further action be required this will be discussed, agreed and planned to ensure the best possible outcome.

Tim Gray, a partner at Clough & Willis, commented; "Some business owners are not aware that they can take action to recover monies owed to them, and some are often afraid that by approaching solicitors it will cost a lot of money. This isn't the case and I urge business owners and finance directors to simply pick up the phone and speak with us rather than struggling on."

This is one of a number of initiatives that Clough & Willis has launched over the last year, including a series of free seminars and forums on employment law issues, accessing finance for businesses as well as a series of free law clinics for individuals needing legal advice and late evening initial appointments for family law advice for working professionals who cannot take time out of their working day.

From first contact to the last, everyone has been very professional and reassuring through what has been an emotional and stressful time for us and without the help of your company it would have been much more difficult for me and my husband.

I was very impressed with your firm at the outset when I first called in November 2009 after my uncles death. All staff from the receptionist and secretary through to the Partners were professional, friendly and helpful and provided the best response out of the 3 Bury firms I called.

Lorraine, I would just like to say "thank you very much" for all your hard work and assistance in the letting of the above property. The negotiations were somewhat protracted, due to a breakdown on my client's side, and I feel that your persistence and hard work led to the eventual lease completion. I look forward to working with you in the near future. Kind regards, Neil Higson, for and on behalf of Nolan Redshaw Ltd
