Client Background

Our client is a farmer from Brampton who regularly delivers livestock from Carlisle Auction House to farms across the region. Over time, he accumulated four unpaid invoices totaling £4,800.

Despite repeated attempts to collect the payments, months went by without success, causing stress and impacting cash flow.

The Challenge

Recovering payments in the agricultural sector can be tricky:

• Debtors often operate under multiple names or aliases.
• Seasonal workloads and disputes can delay payment.
• Traditional chasing methods had failed over an extended period.

Our client needed a fast and professional solution to recover their outstanding invoices.

Our Solution

Woodside Debt Recovery implemented a structured debt recovery process:

1. Pre-credit checks - Verified the correct names and details of all debtors to avoid errors.
2. Letters Before Action (LBAs) - Professionally issued to all four outstanding accounts.
3. Multi-channel contact – Follow-up via phone, email, and where appropriate, WhatsApp.

The results were immediate. Within 5 days, all four invoices were paid in full, restoring cash flow and removing months of stress.

Key Takeaways

• Accuracy matters: Proper debtor identification ensures faster recovery.
• Professional persistence works: LBAs from a trusted recovery team encourage prompt payment.
• Focus on your business: Outsourcing debt recovery frees clients to concentrate on running their business

Outcome

• Total recovered: £4,800 plus Interest and Costs
• Time to recover: 5 days
• Debt age: 18+ months
• Method: Pre-credit checks + LBAs

This case demonstrates the power of outsourcing debt recovery and how professional intervention can transform long-overdue invoices into immediate payments.
