What is debt recovery?
Debt recovery is the process of pursuing unpaid invoices or overdue payments from customers. It helps businesses protect their cash flow and minimise write-offs, especially when internal efforts have been unsuccessful.
How does Sterling's "no win – no fee" model work?
Our no win – no fee model means you only pay if we successfully recover the debt. It’s a low-risk, performance-based approach that aligns our incentives with your results.
Can debt recovery be used to collect international debts?
Yes. Sterling has multilingual teams and legal partners worldwide, allowing us to recover debts across borders, currencies, and jurisdictions efficiently and professionally.
Will debt recovery affect our customer relationships?
Handled correctly, it won’t. We prioritise a diplomatic and brand-sensitive approach, aiming to resolve matters without damaging your client relationships or reputation.
What legal action can be taken if a debtor refuses to pay?
If amicable collection fails, we can advise on next steps including pre-action letters, legal proceedings, or enforcement – always with your approval and full transparency.
How are disputed debts collected?
Disputed cases are managed by experienced agents who review documentation, mediate with the debtor, and escalate when necessary, ensuring your position is clearly represented.
Is our data secure with a debt recovery agency?
Yes. We operate under strict GDPR guidelines and use encrypted platforms to store and process sensitive data. Your information is protected at every stage.
How long does the debt recovery process take?
That depends on the case. Some debts are resolved within days; others may take weeks or months, particularly if legal steps are required. You’ll be informed about progress.
What types of debts qualify for recovery?
We recover commercial debts, including overdue invoices, unpaid fees and contract breaches.
How do we choose the right debt recovery partner?
Look for industry experience, legal knowledge, ethical practices, and a proven recovery track record. Sterling offers a transparent, results-driven service trusted by global clients.
