Our Collectors are continuously trained to rigorous standards and are committed to your requirements, creating a smooth and productive relationship. You will be assigned a dedicated commercial collections specialist who understands your specific business. They will operate in a way that protects your business interests and your reputation. We also give you constant access to our ACT Online system, where you can see real-time updates reflecting exactly what is happening within your accounts.

If a commercial invoice is overdue, you can claim statutory interest of 8%, plus the Bank of England base rate, for business-to-business transactions.

A payment is deemed late 30 days after your invoice was received, or 30 days after you delivered the goods or services agreed (whichever is later) – unless you have already agreed an alternative date to settle the debt.

You can charge penalty fees for each unpaid invoice, depending on the amount of debt owed, see the table below for more information.

We can manage the penalties and interest charges on your behalf and successfully recover these from your late paying customers.
