WHAT WE DO

		Commission only
		Contract Programme
		50-50
		Credit Management

As our name says, we collect outstanding debts for businesses, corporate clients and individuals. So what? Any collection agent does that. Well, here is the difference.

With many agencies, you HAVE TO join their programme with KENTS, you do not.

With many agencies, you receive a booklet of demand letters that YOU send out (at your cost). At Kents, WE do ALL the legwork from start to finish. We send the demands and require that any response be to our office. We take you out of the loop.

With many agencies, you have to send at least three different levels of demand letters (that they have SOLD you). At Kents, we will send any level of demand you wish; from a reminder to a formal Notice of Intention to Sue or all three. It’s YOUR choice.

With many agencies, if you decide to take legal action against a debtor, they will hire their solicitors to do so at a COST TO YOU. At Kents, we prepare or have prepared all legal documentation required and there are NO SOLICITORS COSTS so if you cannot recover the money that’s owing (and let’s face it, people do disappear or fall victim to Bankruptcy), then you are not liable for solicitors costs.*

*Some matters may require the involvement of a solicitor (yours or ours-again it’s your choice), usually where the amount claimed is over $7500.00 but we let you know if this is likely.

Because businesses have different needs and requirements, we offer a range of programmes to suit them all:

Commission Only:
You pay a small set up cost (which reduces after the first one) and then nothing unless you want to file legal action or we recover the money.

...The process is simple. Give us the details, pay a one-off
establishment fee then nothing more until we recover the debt or you decide
to take legal action. We will issue the appropraiate payment demand, make
contact with the debtor, let them know the ramifications of non-payment and
if the debtor still does not pay, utilising the court system... See More...

Contract (Debt Recovery) Programme:
If you have a few more debts and they are a constant problem, this is your best choice. Click here for more details See More...

 

50-50 Programme:
The best of both worlds. A combination of upfront fees and commission for those with “regular bad payers”. Click here for more details See More...

Credit Management:
A pay by the hour arrangement with no commissions. We are YOUR credit controller for the purposes of this programme and all of your accounts are managed by us in the guise of YOUR OWN business. Your debtors are not aware of our involvement until you say so. See More...

 

Commission Only:
The most popular programme. The process is simple. Give us the details, pay a one-off establishment fee then nothing more until we recover the debt or you decide to take legal action. Utilising the court system, we will then prepare, file and serve the necessary court proceedings to ensure that recovery of your debts is effected as soon as is practicable-and because you don’t usually need solicitors, the costs are kept to a minimum. Details of court fees are available on request. So if you have a few one-off debts and don’t want to risk a great deal of expense-get the professional team at Kents Collections to take care of it for you. The cost ?

 

Contract (Debt Recovery) Programme:
So you have more than just a few accounts? Then look at this. For a once a year fee, we will take whatever recovery steps you may require to deal with individual debtors, from reminders to court proceedings depending on the debt and your instructions. You only pay for what you ask us to do (account billed monthly) and you pay NO COMMISSION on any monies received. This programme gives you the ultimate control over how much you spend on credit control and is ideal for businesses with recurring payment problems. The cost ?

 

50-50 Programme:
This programme is a combination of both of the above. You pay a reduced up front fee which gives you a 12 month contract allowing you to engage us at any time to recover any debts that you have, and when we recover, the commission you pay is also reduced. It allows you the best of both worlds-no financial risk debt recovery with less commission. The cost ?

 

Credit Management:

Kents also offer credit management for your business on an hourly basis if you have a debtor’s list that needs constant attention. A few hours a week is all you are committed to and pay only an hourly rate without commission. You can even set a maximum time per week/month so you can budget more effectively. This system is based on internet communications between this office and yours to keep the records of both up to date. It means that you do not have to employ a third person to keep an eye on your accounts. Leave that to us and we will let you know of any that we think might need to be chased by Kents. But (and here is the good part) even if you then get us to chase them we STILL keep you on the same programme, you do not HAVE TO transfer to another programme as many others demand that you do. So you are still only committed to the time you allocate and not for commission as well! The cost ?
