Debt Collectors

We asked Federal Management to collect 2 debts for us. We haven't had any success in the past with Debt Collectors but they succeeded in recovering both debts. Staff were professional and very helpful.

Definitely the Company to Use for Debt Collection

Excellent service from this professional company. Have never needed to use collecting services before but this company were extremely efficient and kept us updated through the entire process. Fortunately, their initial actions with the debtor resulted in full payment around 3 weeks after their first action (this debt was over 6 months overdue) so we are very pleased. Thank you all again for your help with this unpleasant process 5*

Absolutely first class service and advice, highly recommended

I initially called Federal Management to get some advice on fairly large sum of money that was owed to me, and that I thought I might struggle to recover myself.
I spoke to a great guy, Tony Meadows who gave me some fantastic advice, and gave me a plan of action going forwards. He was confident that with his help, I would have no problem getting my money back.
Fortunately, in the time between me talking to Tony, and the date we set to start proceedings, I managed to secure an agreement in writing that I would get all of my money back.
I discussed this with Tony, and he was happy that I had secured the agreement and that if for whatever reason the agreement fell through, that he would be there for me.
I cannot thank him enough for all of the advice and for taking the time to put my mind at rest.
If I ever need the services of a debt recovery company in the future, Tony at Federal Management will be the only person I call.

Our Business Insurer declined to take on our £16k bad debt case on the grounds that the prospects of success were less than 51%. A few months later Federal Management reviewed the case and confidently took it on and secured a full recovery 6 weeks later.
The Federal Management team was excellent. Very professional and kept us informed.

Great debt management service

Good team, if you work with them then they work with you. They brought a bad debt under control, established a payment plan with the debtor covering the original debt plus our legal costs plus interest, together worth almost £3,500. The debtor settled the remaining balance in full after just 17 months of the 45 month repayment plan.

To keep it brief

To keep it brief, we had a tray of invoices that were overdue, some as old as 2022. Federal did their homework and recovered most of what was owed bar 2 that had gone into liquidation. Will be using again for sure.
