Large debts are rarely just bigger versions of small ones. They tend to involve disputed invoices, several companies, personal guarantees, cross-border elements, or debtors who deliberately delay. Recovia handles them as individual cases with a tailored strategy, not a standard workflow. For claims of £25,000 and above, you can speak directly with our Managing Director.
What makes a debt complex
- Group structures. The contracting company isn't the one holding the assets.
- Personal guarantees. Directors or parent companies may be liable alongside the debtor.
- Partial disputes. Part of the invoice is challenged, used as a reason to withhold the whole amount.
- Cross-border debtors. Assets or trading operations are outside England and Wales.
- Deliberate delay. Debtors who know the process and use every step to buy time.
How we handle it
- Evidence review. Contracts, guarantees, correspondence and the payment history, to establish exactly who owes what.
- Asset and entity investigation. Filings, property, directors and connected companies. Where money has moved, our investigative intelligence and forensic accounting services can trace it.
- Strategy. A written plan that sets out the route, costs and likely outcomes. You approve it before we act.
- Coordinated recovery. Pressure on every liable party, including guarantors and associated entities, with legal specialists involved from the outset through our legal partner.
- Settlement or enforcement. Negotiated where that gets the best result, enforced where it doesn't.
Confidentiality
High-value disputes are often commercially sensitive. We handle them discreetly and agree with you how the debtor, and any third parties, are approached.
