Comprehensive Commercial Loan Collection Services

Managing outstanding debts can be challenging with so many people missing their loan payments due to job loss, the rising cost of living, reduced income, hospitalisation, divorce or poor money management.

A 2023-2024 study showed that nearly one in four UK adults (24%) have missed one or more payments on their mortgage.

Nearly two-thirds (64%) report it being due to the cost of living crisis, and seven in ten who missed payments said it impacted their ability to access financial services. 

According to data from Pepper Advantage, a global intelligence firm, mortgage arrears rose by 2.4% in Q4 2024 from the previous quarter. This tracked 100,000 UK residential mortgages across all mortgage types from borrowers including fixed rate, variable rate and buy-to-let loans. This uptick reflects the growing financial strain on borrowers.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a debt collection agency, we understand that parts of the process may be confusing. We’ve answered some commonly asked questions about debt recovery to make things easier to understand.

How long does the debt collection process take?

Although each case varies, we attempt to recover outstanding payments quickly as it’s more cost-effective for businesses to recover money sooner than later. We attempt to recover a part payment, if not a full payment of the money owed within 30 days if possible.

No, we operate with full professionalism, protecting your customers and your business’s image. We aim to bridge the gap between your customers and your business while maintaining the relationship built between both parties.

If the debtor refuses to pay the money owed or fails to respond to communication by our debt collection agency, we will resort to court proceedings to ratify the debt. Under the UK law, the original creditor or their appointed debt collection agency can take the following steps:

  • Letter Before Action: Before initiating any legal proceedings, we issue a Letter Before Action, formally notifying the debtor of their outstanding debt.

  • County Court Judgment: If the debtor still refuses to pay, we will then proceed to file a County Court Claim. If successful, the court will issue a County Court Judgment against the debtor, legally confirming the debt.

  • Enforcement Action: If the debtor does not comply with the CCJ, we can request court enforcement. Depending on the circumstances, this can include High Court Enforcement Officers, Attachment of Earnings orders, Third-party Debt orders and Charging orders.

We always aim for an amicable resolution first, but if necessary, our team will ensure legal avenues are pursued to recover what is owed.

Our commission fees vary based on the debt value, age and type of debt. Our fees vary from as low as 6% to 20%. For small-value debt, it will be up to 30% as it has to be cost-effective for us.

We must account for the potential expenses involved in debt collection, which can easily reach thousands of pounds. For secondary debt that’s already undergone prior third-party collection efforts, the above fees will be adjusted to reflect the increased financial risk we bear.

Yes — if clients or partners have defaulted on business loan payments, and your own recovery efforts haven’t proven effective, Federal Management can step in. We specialise in recovering various types of commercial lending, including business loans, invoice finance and credit lines. 

Many debtors delay or ignore payment when dealing directly with creditors, but as a professional agency, we use proven credit control methods to ensure success. Our proven methods and professional approach often succeed where internal efforts fall short while preserving valuable business relationships where possible.
