I could come out with the usual general cheesy statement like \u201cBecause we\u2019re the best\u201d and \u201cBecause we are passionate about collecting debts\u201d, both of which being true of course. However, I wouldn\u2019t like to insult your intelligence and expect you to believe that without proof. After all, you might not know us yet. Once you have worked with us you will realise that we quite often exceed clients\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n
On the subject of clients, we Collect Debts for Kent SMEs, blue chip companies, Insolvency Practitioners, Exporters, Recruitment Companies, Car Manufacturers, Garages, High Street Brands and everyone in between.<\/p>\n
Like our MD says we are like a GPs\u2019 Surgery: people come to us when they are sick, sick of not getting paid on time, or when they can no longer bear using up their time chasing cash which should already be in their bank account! \u00a0Perhaps we should change this perspective. Every Company should establish a connection with a Debt Collection Agency long before they have a problem. That way, when a customer fails to pay on time, you can call a Debt Collection professional for free advice on what to do next. This is how CLI treats all their clients.<\/p>\n
Here are the great organisations CLI is involved with:<\/p>\n
