Commercial debt collection for Eastleigh businesses
Eastleigh’s commercial geography includes town-centre businesses, industrial premises and the airport-side business area. A recovery instruction is more useful when it distinguishes the address used for invoicing from the place where the customer actually trades. We handle qualifying unpaid business invoices; we do not collect consumer debts. Our commercial recovery service begins with an assessment of the creditor, debtor, balance and supporting evidence.
Trade supply, hire and repeat-customer accounts
For a running trade account, send a dated statement with invoices, credit notes and payment allocations. For hire or equipment-related invoices, explain the commercial agreement and distinguish the money owed from any separate issue about equipment. Do not assume an invoice alone authorises physical recovery of goods.
Direct debtor engagement
We work from the reconciled balance and seek a direct discussion about overdue items. If a repeat customer has made several payment promises, include the dates and amounts promised. This gives us a reliable starting point for asking whether a payment arrangement is credible and for keeping you informed of the response.
Face-to-face recovery where appropriate
An Eastleigh-area premises visit can support contact when the verified business location is relevant to the debt. Provide safe-access information for workshops, yards or industrial units and any known concerns. A collection visit does not confer enforcement powers: we do not seize goods, force entry or represent ourselves as bailiffs. See our Field Services for standalone attendance. Recovery and timescales cannot be guaranteed.
Local field support for solicitors
For law firms needing someone on the ground around Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford or Hedge End, we can consider debtor contact, trading checks and other agreed field tasks. Explain the address evidence and the required outcome so the attendance is focused and the written report answers the instruction. We can also consider service of completed statutory demands under a separate agreed instruction; we do not advise on issuing them.
Outstanding solicitors’ commercial client accounts
Law firms can ask us to assess their own unpaid B2B client accounts for no-win, no-fee recovery under our standard commercial terms. Eligibility depends on the debtor being a business and the supporting retainer, bill and correspondence. This does not extend the service to consumer client debts. The standard 15% success fee applies to money recovered, with no upfront engagement fee; standalone field services, approved travel and third-party costs are separate as set out in our services and fees and terms. Provide a brief non-sensitive outline first so the scope can be assessed.
Local coverage and visit arrangements
Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, Bishopstoke, Fair Oak, Hedge End, Botley, West End and Hamble. The Southampton homepage remains the main guide to our home-base service. We operate from our Southampton-area base, not a branch in Eastleigh. Confirm the debtor’s current location and the requested task when enquiring. Visits are subject to suitability, authority, access and agreed availability.
Before you instruct us
Have the invoice, contract or order, due date, balance after credits and payments, evidence of supply and previous contact history ready. Explain any dispute, insolvency concern, assignment or existing legal action at the outset. For a quick starting point, read what information we need for recovery. Please do not submit sensitive case documents through an ordinary enquiry.
Does a field visit include taking back hired equipment?
No automatic authority to recover goods comes with a debt collection visit. Explain any equipment issue before instruction so the scope and any need for separate professional advice can be assessed.
