International Debt Collection Agency

Trusted International Debt Recovery for Businesses

With the increasing connection between the world’s economies, it has become more common to conduct business across borders. Consequently, the recovery of debt on an international scale has become an increasingly important aspect of global commerce.

With over 20 years experience, ISO:9001 accreditation, and a global network of partners, Federal Management is a trusted international debt collection agency that can recover debts from most countries, including Australia, France, the USA, and Germany.

Our international debt collectors are committed to supporting your business through every stage of the recovery process and our agents operate under strict regulations and guidelines set out by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Credit Services Association (CSA), so you can rest assured that your overseas debt is collected ethically and legally.

Our International Debt Collection Service

Our international debt collectors use various methods for collecting debt overseas, including:

  • Emails, SMS and Telephone Calls
  • Letter Before Action
  • Investigation and Mediation
  • Pre-action Negotiations and Repayment Schedules
  • Initial Tracing of Absconded Debtors
  • Regular Progress Reporting
  • Debt Collection Officers To Visit Debtors

Highly Effective Multi-Channel Approach

We understand that monies owed, such as unpaid invoices and accounts, can be frustrating and time-consuming to recover, so we use various platforms and methods to connect with debtors.

We reach out to debtors through phone calls, emails, text messages, and even social media. Our advanced debtor tracing services ensure that we have the best possible chance of contacting the debtor company and reclaiming the money owed.

Expert Dispute Resolution To Avoid Legal Action

In the unlikely event that debt collection companies are unable to recover international debts, legal proceedings are the last resort. Our highly-trained debt collectors do their best to avoid the need for legal measures through expert mediation.

Our recovery team aims to meet each debtor with empathy, and through dispute resolution , we ensure that a fair and realistic payment plan is arranged. This ensures that our clients get paid while avoiding court proceedings.

Should mediation fail, a CCJ (County Court Judgment) can be obtained. This is a court order telling the debtor to pay the debt. If the debtor ignores a CCJ or doesn’t meet its terms, the court may take more serious legal action.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand you may have a few questions about our services or the debt recovery process. To make things easier, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we get asked about our global debt collection services. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, our agents are here to help. 

What is The Process for International Debt Collection?

Our international debt collection process involves gathering debtor details, professionally contacting them to negotiate repayment, and escalating to legal action if necessary. This may include obtaining a County Court Judgment (CCJ) for asset seizure or wage garnishment. We always operate within global regulations to ensure ethical, effective recovery at every step.

To choose the right international debt collection agency, focus on three key factors:

  • Reputation: Check reviews and client testimonials to gauge reliability.
  • Fees: Understand the agency’s fee structure, including any potential hidden or abortive fees.
  • Accreditation and Legal Compliance: Confirm they are licensed, following UK standards set by the FCA and CSA, to ensure legal and ethical practices.


Federal Management adheres to all relevant legal frameworks and regulations, preserving the client and business relationship.

Establishing clear payment terms is a good way to prevent future late payments and cash flow issues from overseas clients. Make sure you request upfront payments for large orders and send regular reminders for outstanding invoices.

Conduct credit control checks, offer flexible payment options, and maintain communication to address issues early and ensure you get paid.

Ultimately, debt recovery internationally requires a working knowledge of the local jurisdiction. This needs to be combined with cultural sensitivity and effective communication. Our creditors carefully consider their options and engage the services of experienced professionals to maximise the chances of recovering the debt owed.
