Debt Recovery
At Commercial Debt Recovery Solutions, our collection officers employ a firm but friendly technique in the collection of overdue accounts. They are expert negotiators that work well within the industry’s ethics and guidelines to collect monies owed. It’s their goal, and the goal of Commercial Debt Recovery Solutions, to resolve overdue accounts as quickly and completely as possible.
We avoid the cost of litigation whenever possible when resolving debts and most accounts are closed without the need for legal assistance. If legal action is needed, we rely on our in-house law firm, Carew Counsel Solicitors, to assist us in collecting monies owed with a minimum of hassle and for the least possible cost to you.
We use a combination of potent legal demand letters, telephone action and where necessary skip tracing, field calls and legal action.

“Soft” Collection Procedures
CDRS also offer “soft” collection services to cater specifically for members of the medial professional and similar professionals who require debt recovery agents adopt a gentler approach to recovery of outstanding debts.
For certain debtors, these soft collection procedures are followed by more assertive measures and methods if needed. I every case, our Account Controllers strive to create an atmosphere of cooperation and compliance to help retrieve all the monies that are owed.
After examining your needs, the nature of your unresolved accounts and the individuals or companies withholding payment, we will determine whether soft collection procedures are warranted or if stronger measures are needed.
No matter what the approach, our bottom line is the same as yours—to collect all your debts in full in the shortest amount of time possible.
General Collections
The vast majority of delinquent accounts, no matter what sector or industry, can be resolved using our debt recovery process. Although the type of businesses and individuals with collectable debt vary widely, we use the same effective and firm approach to collect those debts and return them to you.
With a highly-trained and experienced staff leading the way, we take of the entire process for you from start to finish. Our polite, yet persuasive collection agents know how to get the best results possible and they do so quickly and efficiently.
Medical Collection
CDRS can motivate delinquent patients to pay you for the care and services you’ve provided them. And we can do so without compromising your reputation or you losing patients due to the collection process. Handling your outstanding patient balances in a friendly and professional way means that you can maintain the working relationship with those patients and continue to provide them the best medical care.
Education Collection
Most college students graduate with debt. When these debts and students loans are not paid as agreed, debt recovery is often needed. Typically, students are given a number of opportunities to repay their debts including forming a new agreement with the lender based on a more realistic timetable for repayment. When the debt is not repaid per the new agreement however and the student is in default, debt recovery is initiated.
At Commercial Debt Recovery Solutions, we have the experience and expertise needed to handle defaulted student loans and education debts of all types.
Fitness Collection
Gyms and health clubs sell memberships in various forms depending on the needs of the user and their access to the facilities. In some cases, the user signs a contract without clearly understanding their responsibilities and thus incur unwanted charges such as not paying cancellation fees when they stop going to the gym. Others simply refuse to pay fees as agreed.
Using the signed contract or agreement as the basis of our collection efforts, we take the necessary steps to resolve the account with patience an good will and ensure that it is paid in full.
Advertising Collection
Advertising of any kind is not an exact science. In some case, when an advertising agency doesn’t receive the response they hoped for, debts cannot not be paid. The same friendly but firm collection process CDRS is known for is used in this case as in any other industry. We work with the advertising agency to identify the debts owed then arrange for all accounts to be resolved and closed.
