Commercial debt collection doesn’t need to be stressful.

Our team combines legal knowledge, cultural understanding, and proven negotiation strategies to maximize your recovery rates while maintaining your business relationships and reputation.

Here’s why thousands of customers have placed their trust in us for the past 40 years:

No Advance Fees

We don't require any payment in advance for ongoing export B2B account receivables collection, and we don't charge any up-front fees for undisputed international debt collection claims.

No Abortive Charges

No business wants to be invoiced for a service they haven't received. We don't charge any administration fees or abortive charges in unsuccessful international debt collection cases.

No Fixed Term Contracts

We don't demand you sign a binding, fixed term contract or pay an annual subscription to work with us, be that for a one-off international matter, or for ongoing export account recovery.

No Hidden Costs

No-one likes unexpected bills or hidden charges.

At Safe Collections, any extra charges, legal costs or ancillary fees must always be authorised by you in writing, in advance of us incurring them.

How Our International Debt Recovery Process Works

Recovering outstanding debts across borders can be challenging, but Safe Collections makes the process seamless and hassle-free.

Over the years, we’ve refined our international debt collection process to ensure efficient recovery while maintaining professional relationships with your clients.

Initial Case Assessment

As an experienced international debt collection agency, we and our international debt collection and legal services partners offer a full range of commercial legal, investigative and judgment enforcement services across the globe and our rates for collection are based on the specifics of your claim. This is why all matters start with a free, no obligation debt collection review.

Strategic Contact & Negotiation

Our debt recovery specialists initiate contact with your debtor using a combination of calls, emails, and formal demand correspondence.

We employ persuasive negotiation tactics while adhering to international debt recovery laws and we always demand payment is made direct to the client .

Legal & Compliance Review

If the debtor is unresponsive or refuses payment, we assess legal options based on the contract in force and any jurisdiction-specific regulations.

Our global network of legal partners ensures compliance with local laws while maximizing recovery success.

Legal Action (If Necessary)

If amicable collection efforts fail, we can assist with the issue of local legal proceedings provided your contract allows for it.

Our international legal partners provide expert guidance on the best legal course of action for debt enforcement.

Successful Recovery & Invoice Payment

Once the debt is collected and paid by the debtor to your nominated bank account, we promptly raise an invoice for the fee due on these recovered funds that now sit safely in your account. Our transparent reporting system keeps you updated throughout the process of collecting your money from your international debtor.

Frequently asked questions

Wondering how the service works? Confused about the claims we handle?

Dive into our international debt recovery FAQ for more details.

Can you collect in every country worldwide?

If you have a client overseas then chances are we have a local agent or legal services partner that can pursue them for payment.

What do you need to start collection on a contingency basis?

We need a copy of the contract, agreement or order and copy invoices in the correct legal name of your debtor along with their contact details to open a debt collection claim.

What is the cost?

We don't have a one-size-fits-all approach to pricing and the fee payable on successful recovery varies depending on the age of the invoices, amount outstanding and general case specifics.

Please contact us for a bespoke debt collection quote from our local partner.

Am I obligated to spend any more money?

No you are not.

We may advise a course of action but you stay in complete control of your exposure to additional costs at all times.

What abortive costs do you charge if no funds are collected?

We do not charge any abortive cost or fees if your undisputed B2B export debt collection claim remains unpaid.

The service is provided on a strict "no collection = no commission".

Do you have legal cover?

If your claim needs legal escalation we provide access to leading law firms across the EU and the world.

But please note - we do not underwrite your legal or enforcement costs if you decide to pursue legal action.

I or the debtor overseas is not a business, can you still help me?

Probably and if not, we are certain we can recommend someone who can. Please contact us for a free, no obligation claim review.

My debt is disputed, will you and your export debt collection partner accept it on a contingency basis?

Disputed debts are not included in the contingency debt collection service. Please contact us and we will review the claim on a free, no obligation basis.
