At Accent Commercial Debt Recovery, we believe that you should not have to pay a single penny to recover payment of invoices that have not been paid for on time, and the Government agrees with us! Creditors are provided with a statutory entitlement to claim debt recovery costs under The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2013. When you instruct Accent, we claim the debt recovery costs from the debtor on your behalf in addition to the principal invoice sums you are owed.
Accent’s debt collection agency process is all about getting your invoices to the front of the queue for payment as quickly as possible. As soon as we contact the debtor, they will be in no doubt that you are serious and that you are no longer prepared to be ignored or listen to their excuses.
In the vast majority of cases, being put on Notice of intended legal proceedings by Accent Commercial Debt Recovery will be enough to elicit a response from even the most unresponsive debtor. Experience has equipped us to deal with even the most sophisticated or fervent of excuses for non-payment, and our determination and persistence in educating the debtor on the serious consequences of legal proceedings results in payment in over 80% of the instructions we undertake.
Our debt collection agency service is available to any business that has supplied goods or services to another business and has not received payment within the agreed payment terms. Please note that in the absence of agreed payment terms, current legislation states that payment becomes due 30 days following the invoice issue date.
We work on behalf of businesses of all sizes in all sectors throughout the UK. Whether you are a large company or a small business late payment legislation applies. Accent’s debt recovery service is available to recover payment of your invoices on a no cost to the creditor basis. Accent has recovered payment of invoices for over 6,000 businesses, from self-employed contractors to FTSE 250 companies. We have recovered debts ranging in value from £750 to over £1,000,000.
In a small number of cases, it will not be possible for us to recover payment of your invoices within 14 days. Frustratingly some debtors will simply ignore us or refuse to pay until legal action is taken against them. Sadly in some cases, the business will be unable to pay its debts and will be about to go out of business.
If for whatever reason we are unable to recover payment of your unpaid invoices our service is completely free of charge. Accent debt collection will only receive payment when we are successful and when we are successful it is the debtor that pays us.
Accent enforces your legal rights, get your invoices paid, and provides your business with a completely free-of-cost debt collection agency service.
The clients Accent work on behalf of and represent benefit from:
Chasing for payment of invoices that have not been paid on time can be stressful and frustrating. It also takes up time that would be better spent on growing your business. In some cases, late payment can become a serious issue if a business cannot pay its suppliers on time. The excellent working relationships you have built with your suppliers could become strained simply because you have not been paid on time. Every week businesses in the UK that cannot pay their overheads and suppliers are forced to close while being owed money by debtors that would have cleared their debts.
One of the reasons that late payment has become such a problem is the reluctance of many businesses to use a debt recovery firm. This is understandable considering the poor reputation of some debt recovery practices and the methods they employ. Accent offers its clients an alternative, a debt collection service backed by Government legislation that enforces their legal right to be paid on time.
We are the most cost-effective commercial debt recovery company in the UK. Better than no win no fee debt recovery. There is no fee when we win! Instructing Accent is entirely risk-free. If, as in over 80% of the instructions we receive, we successfully recover payment of your unpaid invoices, you will receive 100% of the invoice sums. If we are unsuccessful, at least you will have the peace of mind and satisfaction that you pursued the debt and did not increase your losses.

If we receive your completed debt recovery instruction form and copy invoices before 2 pm, we can usually commence an action and issue a Notice the same day. On day one of our instruction, we will issue the debtor with a Notice by post. On day two, we will send copies by email. When completing the account referral form, please supply as many email addresses as possible. Usually, the more people and departments within the business receive a copy of the Notice, the more quickly the debt will be paid. On day three, we will commence telephone contact with the debtor.
It is not unusual for debtors to make payment as soon as they receive our initial correspondence. If required, we will continue to contact the debtor by letter, email and telephone for 14 days. Our successful debt recovery rate at the end of the 14-day process is 84%.
In most cases, a series of professionally structured letters, emails and telephone calls demanding payment and explaining the serious consequences of non-payment and possible legal proceedings is enough to prompt payment.

Déjà vu Debt Recoveries Here at Advocate, some clients refer debts every week, and others wait until year-end approaches before submitting a flurry of cases.
In the unlikely event that it is not possible for us to recover payment, the information gathered during the 14-day process will allow us to recommend to our client the most appropriate and cost-effective further action. This could be the issue of County Court proceedings or Insolvency proceedings, in which case we would provide full details on the process and the costs involved. It is then our client’s decision on whether or not proceedings are issued.
In a small number of cases, the debtor will be insolvent and it will not be possible for them to settle the debt. With cases such as these where the debtor has no cash or assets, the costs involved in issuing legal proceedings would simply increase our client’s losses, and our advice would be to write off the debt and claim tax relief on the loss.
In cases where either it is financially unviable to pursue the debt through legal action or our client decides not to issue legal proceedings, Accent will close our file in the matter. Whatever the circumstances, when we close a file without recovering payment, the debt recovery services we have supplied are free of charge.
Should our client decide to issue legal proceedings, our file will be transferred to Accent’s solicitors who specialise in commercial debt recovery claims. They will issue proceedings in the name of and on behalf of our client, while Accent will continue to be our client’s point of contact working as an intermediary, and updating our client as the proceedings progress.
Prior to issuing a claim in the County Court, the client would be required to pay both the Court fee and solicitors issue fee. The Court fee and solicitors issue fee to be paid are dependent on the claim value and are added to the total amount claimed in Court. Both fees would be included in the total sum awarded to the client should they be successful in obtaining Judgment.
The Court fees required to be paid to issue Insolvency proceedings total £1,880.00 and include the Court fee of £280.00 and the Official Receivers deposit of £1,600.00 to manage the Winding-up Petition. You should take into account that the purpose of issuing a Winding-up Petition is debt recovery and, therefore to force the debtor to pay the debt. Once the Petition is issued, if the debtor pays prior to the hearing, the £1,600.00 deposit will be returned to you. Similarly, if it becomes clear that the debtor is insolvent and it is not possible for them to pay the debt, we would recommend that the proceedings are stayed, and again the deposit would be returned to you.
In addition to the Court fees, you would be required to pay a process server’s fee of approximately £100.00 plus VAT to serve the Petition on the debtor, and the London Gazette cost of £79.40 plus VAT to advertise the Petition.
Should the Petition proceed to a hearing, the objective would be to recover all of the costs involved in issuing the Petition in addition to the principal debt.

Very easy to use from initial ideas to end result. We would highly recommend Australian Logo Design!!Dave Hill2023-07-07The best logo design in Australia, Michael was outstanding with service and design. 10 stars !Heath D2023-07-07***EDIT IN RESPONSE TO BUSINESS I respect your interpretation and spin on the situation, although our opinions of the circumstances and interaction is different*** I just used the inspiration and totally redid the logo myself. Changed the goalposts on me and quoted a brand new job to complete the work - and that was just a minimalistic logo. Can't imagine if it was more complex. Tried to fob my questions off when I asking about pixelation and not using vectors. I'm no designer but in the industry but I just couldn't be bothered arguing. I closed the job off and just cut my lossesTylan Stanbury2023-06-27Absolute bunch of legends. Made me a great logo and were very easy to work with.Craig Shearer2023-06-24Michael was very easy to deal with, only needed a couple of changes to the concept Logo that I chose from the original 6 he supplied. I couldn't have been happier with the results much easier than trying to create my own one online. Very prompt service too, I would definitely use him again if I needed to change my logo.Sandra Catalina Takac2023-06-24Great work and good quality. I am very satisfied with the result. Have now used Australian Logo Design for a number of Logo’s which have all gone smoothly and resulted in exactly what we wanted. Keep up the great work!Cherie King2023-06-24Exceptional service and turnaround time. Very patient with my many questions and design preferences.
