Activate amicable, structured debt recovery

Before taking legal steps, you’re able to start an amicable debt recovery process (e.g. via your debt recovery agency, bailiff, or solicitor).

Formal steps and a framework of communication gradually increase pressure on the debtor while preserving the relationship.

Start legal proceedings if necessary

If amicable debt recovery fails, the file can be used to start legal proceedings. With Clearnox, you can easily gather the required information to issue a payment promise, letter before action or a summons. You’ll be kept up-to-date every step of the way while delegating complex proceedings to the experts.

Debt recovery FAQs

When should you move forward with debt recovery?

When amicable approaches have failed and your client is either refusing to pay their invoice or ignoring your reminders, then it’s time to take action.

Debt recovery is a justified response to persistent disputes, a lack of response after several reminders or proven bad faith. Before starting legal proceedings or instructing a third party, you must have exhausted all possible amicable solutions.

What’s the difference between amicable payment reminders and debt recovery?

Amicable reminders are non-binding, polite communications that remind a customer of their payment obligations (emails, calls, simple letters). They aim to find a solution without affecting the commercial relationship.

Debt recovery, on the other hand, implies more formal actions, like formal notices and legal proceedings.

Can we automatically stop reminders for clients whose invoices are being disputed?

Yes. With Clearnox, you can suspend invoice reminders for a client or invoice under dispute. So you don’t have to worry about unexpected reminders making the situation worse.

How can I effectively manage payment promises?

With Clearnox, promissory notes are directly attached to accounting entries for automated tracking. No need to update the account status by hand: our automation updates the information as tasks are completed. You can also create payment schedules for several invoices and access a consolidated overview with filter and export.

Lastly, notifications are activated as soon as a promise to pay passes the deadline, so you can take quick action.

How to prevent disputes?

Proactive management and appropriate communication are key to preventing disputes. We recommend you:

  • clarify payment conditions from the start,
  • plan prevention messages for invoice deadline reminders before the deadline passes,
  • communicate regularly with the client if the payment is late,
  • adapt the tone of your reminders to prevent escalating tensions,
  • swiftly involve all teams involved to handle stalemates.

Centralised, effective tracking of all communication helps to anticipate and limit disputes and conflict.
