I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend the services of Safe Collections, not only did they promptly recover the debt but they also charged me significantly less than they could have; provided an outstanding hand-holding service with excellent advice (on both how we should address the debt and my legal entitlement to additional monies I could subsequently claim from debtor) and consistently acted on my side with honesty, fairness, decency, transparency and integrity. They have my trust and I would have no hesitation in engaging their services again. For some background – my situation was as follows: • My company was owed monies equating to 9 man-weeks of work on conclusion of contract with a former agent (contract stated payment 4 weeks in arrears with bi-weekly invoicing). • Over the three years of working with agent we had rarely been paid on time and repeatedly had to expedite payment. • Had received repeated promises of money from the agent that did not materialise. • The financial integrity of the agent was questionable • Had distinct impression that agent was ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’. I contacted IPSE to ask if there were a debt collection agency available to it’s members. IPSE directed me (well deservedly) to Safe Collections where I phoned and had initial conversation with Adam Home. Adam immediately understood my problem and provided practical advice, help and support even before having appointed him, the relief was almost immediate knowing I had the right guy on my side. Having been let down by the agent for a final time, I formally appointed Safe Collections. At first reading through the Safe Collections terms and conditions I thought ‘what am I paying for here except committing a percentage of this outstanding debt (that hasn’t been paid and is well outside contractual window)?’. However, rationalising that Safe Collections have to deal with some suspect companies such as my defaulting former agent on a daily basis and recognising that the terms were to protect themselves as much as me I proceeded to accept. My trust proved well founded (and at this time it was difficult to trust, my confidence in human behaviour being somewhat eroded). The aim of appointing a debt collector was to ensure that we got paid and for the defaulting agent to treat me ‘as Paul rather than Peter’. I am delighted to say that with the support and engagement of Safe Collections the debt was recovered in full within the week. I would advise you to trust wisely in the right people, especially in times you might not feel like trusting. In future I would look no further than Safe Collections.

I consider myself to be quite good at credit control having never suffered a bad or seriously overdue debt in over eight years of trading. However, following a difficult set of circumstances going on for almost a year, I found myself with an unpaid account with no real prospect of receiving payment no matter how hard I tried. I contacted Safe Collections and had one telephone conversation in which I was given some excellent advice. I put this advice into action immediately and as a result received payment in full in less than a week. The experience and knowledge of the staff at Safe Collections along with the methods they have for securing swift payment whilst maintaining good relationships with customers far outweighs what I or most small business owners would have. I would definitely recommend Safe Collections to anyone who needs help with credit control and have saved their details should I need assistance in the future as they will be my first call.Posted on Google![]()

Superb service from start to finish. I had a relatively small debt to recover but Sid and his team went about recovering it in a totally professional and persistent manner. After a number of weeks of prevarication by the debtor I finally received an amount that was acceptable. Highly recommended.Posted on Google![]()

Rich ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
My company had a long running problem with a large institutional client who delayed payment for over 5 years for work that was delivered on time and accepted. After 3 years we got them to pay about 3/4 of the debt but after that they repeatedly failed to pay the remainder despite numerous letters and reminders. After years of frustration we finally got in touch with Safe Collections and they couldn't have been more helpful. Adam gave us some great advice about the best way to proceed. Within just weeks of getting Safe Collections involved, the institution paid the remaining amount owed with a minimum of further fuss. Given the significant amount of time and effort we had previously wasted on trying to recover the debt ourselves, this outcome was better than we could have possibly hoped for. I wish we had called Safe Collections years ago - it would have saved us a lot of time, effort and frustration. I would recommend them to anybody who is having problems with customers not paying their debts.Posted on Google![]()

Any IT contractor who values their skills needs to have a debt recovery agency in their tool box of services. I just went through one of the toughest weeks of my IT contracting career. Thanks to the advice of safe collections I was able to recover funds from an agency that had been stone-walling me for payment. Sid gave me excellent advice over the phone and showed me the best way to deal with this highly emotional situation without emotion and with the law on my side. He never pushed me into engaging their services until I was ready to do so. In fact, when I did formally agree to use safe collections the agency had changed their mind (due to an excellent piece of advice I was given, which was then used in an email to the agency) and they decided to pay. I know none this would have happened without their help. I really cannot thank you enough. J GeorgePosted on Google![]()

As a company in New Zealand faced with tracking down payment in the UK with only an email trail to go on, we weren't in a good position. Safe Collections were happy to take the job on, and had a lot of great advice for us along the way. What I thought was going to be a horrible experience went very smoothly. Safe Collections were always quick to reply, friendly and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend using Safe Collections if you ever get a troublesome client!Posted on Google![]()

I cannot praise Adam at Safe Collections highly enough for his handling of my case. I had issued proceedings and judgment had been entered in County Court proceedings but payment was not forthcoming. Upon Adam's advice, proceedings were transferred to the High Court to enforce judgment and payment was eventually received in full. Safe Collections took the stress out of the situation. I would not hesitate in recommending them.Posted on Google![]()

I wholeheartedly recommend Safe Collections. We had a French commercial debt that we just could not get paid. Our client was simply ignoring our repeated requests for payment due and giving us vague excuses. After four months of trying including sending invoices via registered post to their offices in France I rang Safe Collections and spoke to Adam who gave me some great advice and told me about their super efficient French agent who would happily chase this debt for us. I signed the contract and sent over our documentation (copy invoices etc.). In less than 24 hours Xavier, Safe Collections' French Agent, had extracted a response and a promise of payment that I could not get in four months of trying. We waited a few days and nothing had landed in our bank account so once again Xavier swung into action. Less than 48 hours later and the full amount we were owed arrived direct into our bank account. That, is great service. The best thing? Knowing that when you've got an international debt where you don't fully understand the legal process or the language, you can have a team that has got your back and your best interests at heart. That alone is worth the price of admission. Excellent service!Posted on Google![]()

In nearly 10 years of business, we've never had to collect a late payment, so when it finally happened it was such a relief to have Safe Collections on our side. Professional and swift from the outset, Adam recovered the full debt and their fee from the debtor within a few days. Very much recommended and we'll be in touch straight away, should the worst happen again.Posted on Google![]()

Being a company based in the U.S. and having a collections issue in the U.K./Isle of Man, we were extremely lucky to have been recommended to Safe Collections, otherwise we would not have seen a penny of what was owed to us. Sid at Safe Collections went above and beyond the normal efforts to satisfy the debt owed to us, and after almost three (3) years, we are now fully paid off! Safe Collections is a dedicated and professional organization that is easy and a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google![]()

I was recommended Safe Collections by the Painting & Decorating Association of which i am a member. I had a late paying commercial client that I had found out was in discussions with one of the big 4 professional services firms regarding a CVA, had I left the matter unchecked I am in no doubt that I would have become an unsecured creditor and would have only received a fraction of the value of the work carried out, with a long wait to boot. Adam Home dealt with my case, which started on the 17th December, he was helpful, knowledgeable, personable and a great asset to have working on my behalf. The debt was recovered in full within a month. I received a letter from the professional services firm within 1 week of the payment being received, stating that the company had now entered a CVA and that all creditors were to be invited to a meeting... I am certain that without Adam & the Safe Collections Ltd teams help I would have lost a lot of money in this scenario. Whats more the fees charged were very reasonable and as it transpired the full cost of these were covered by the extra interest and recovery charges that were paid by my client, so even after paying for Safe Collections services I still recovered the full amount of the original invoice. I would not hesitate to use Safe Collections again as the service they provide is professional, reasonable and works!!! The one extra thing I will say is that handing this matter over to Adam took a huge weight off my mind, which enabled me to get on with enjoying christmas with my wife & children, and that's something you can't put a price on. THANK YOU ADAM Anyone reading this and considering using Safe Collections, they are the right people to use, stop thinking about it and call now.Posted on Google![]()

I rang up and spoke to Sid, (Very nice chap). Told him about my plight with debtors owing over £35,000 and he told me some things that I didn't want to hear but some other very useful tips to help us out also. Its was much better advice than I had heard from other collectors who were asking for a "One-Off Registration Fee" and promises that they couldn't possibly deliver. How did I know they couldn't deliver? - because they haven't delivered after trying them. I would recommend Safe Collections as they will tell you straight away the likely outcome of using their services and you cant say fairer than that.Posted on Google![]()

Safe Collections helped me recover a due invoice payment despite the fact I was unable to establish any contact with the company for the last 3 weeks. Within only a few days they were able to recover the payment and the late charges so there was no cost for me. On top of that, they are very clear and transparent about their terms and conditions, as well as friendly and professionals, I would strongly recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

Noam PiperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I was overdue payment for a job by almost 6 months- despite chasing the company with innumerable phonecalls & emails- I was unsuccessful in my attempts, so on the advice of a friend I contacted Sid & his team at Safe Collections- and I was not disappointed! Within a week, the company in question had assured that payment would be made, and I am relieved to say that the company duly delivered on their promise. Furthermore, rather than charging me their standard collection fee, Safe Collections charged the company in question- meaning that Safe Collection's service- which delivered almost instant results- cost me absolutely nothing! I have no doubt in my mind that I would have never been paid were it not for Safe Collection's efforts, so I would highly recommend anyone who is legitimately owed anything to contact them.Posted on Google![]()

I needed a debt collection agency to recover two overdue invoices that were 4-5 months late in payment from one former client. All I can say is that it was the best decision I've made. No more worrying about it - they advised me the best course of action and in a matter of 3 weeks I had recovered the monies oved without having to do anything. I will use the next time I find myself in this position (hopefully I won't anytime soon), and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to any business who found themselves in my position.
