They don’t disclose all the costs…

They don’t disclose all the costs upfront.

At first, they emphasise their success in collecting debts simply by visiting the debtor’s address, suggesting that the embarrassment alone will prompt payment. For this, they require a substantial upfront fee. When I asked about a success-based payment model, they claimed this wasn’t possible because it “costs them to visit the debtor's address,” and therefore, they already have sufficient incentive to collect the debt.

When that approach failed, they then asked me to pay additional fees to take the case to court. After a lengthy process, and even once the court ruled in my favour, I was presented with a long list of further charges for each additional action I wanted them to take.

Had they been transparent from the beginning about the full range of potential costs relative to the amount owed, I could have made a far more informed decision. Instead, I ended up covering their fees while the debtor paid nothing.

If you decide to use their services, make sure you ask for a full breakdown of all possible costs upfront.

Dear Ali,

We regret to learn that you are not satisfied with the service you have received. You paid a nominal instruction fee for which, over the past 10 months, we have attempted recovery of Unpaid Rent from a very difficult and obstructive individual as you are aware.

In this time we have administered full recovery actions including tracing the debtor, lengthy mediation, dispute resolution and assisted with obtaining a CCJ in your favour.

Unfortunately, Court and CCJ enforcement fees are payable from yourself. We do not set the fees for such yet nor can we speed up the process however we understand your frustration.

The Debtor did indeed make a offer to repay the debt but you refused this and also refused to take enforcement action. We have been attempting to mediate a further repayment resolution however in light of this review left on Christmas Day, we will now close your file and absorb the losses therein.

If you wish to discuss this matter further, contact us at cs@frontline-collections.com

We had tried working with a few Agencies in the past with little or no results. Frontline have been the polar opposite in all respects and are extremely efficient, professional and pragmatic. I would have no hesitation in recommending Frontline Collections to any company needing consumer focused recovery services.
