Trade Account Recovery
When an account defaults,
TradeClaim takes over.
From individual overdue accounts to ongoing volumes of defaulted trade credit, TradeClaim manages recovery from referral through to payment, settlement or appropriate escalation.
- 01
Refer
Upload the account statement, invoices, credit application, terms and relevant correspondence.
- 02
Recover
TradeClaim contacts the debtor, establishes the position and pursues payment directly.
- 03
Resolve
Payment in full, structured settlement, dispute resolution or escalation where appropriate.
No recovery. No fee.
Portfolio Recovery
Multiple defaulted accounts. One recovery process.
TradeClaim can take on batches or ongoing volumes of overdue trade accounts, giving credit teams a clear route for accounts that have moved beyond internal collection.
- 01
Batch Referrals
Refer multiple overdue accounts together rather than managing them individually.
- 02
Ongoing Recovery
Agree the point at which accounts transfer to TradeClaim — for example by age, balance or internal collection stage.
- 03
Centralised Reporting
One view of accounts referred, payments recovered, arrangements, disputes and matters requiring escalation.
- 04
Disputed Accounts
Where recovery reveals a genuine commercial dispute, the matter can move into TradeClaim’s dispute-resolution process rather than simply being written off.
Your credit team chases.
TradeClaim takes over.
Construction Payment Disputes
When non-payment becomes a dispute.
TradeClaim handles commercial payment disputes across the construction supply chain — establishing the position, challenging deductions and resolving issues that prevent payment.
- 01
Valuation & Underpayment
Applications, invoices or work valued below the amount claimed.
- 02
Variations & Additional Works
Disputes over instructed work, scope and entitlement to payment.
- 03
Contra-Charges & Set-Off
Deductions for alleged losses, delays, remedial works or other claims.
- 04
Defects & Quality Disputes
Payment withheld because of alleged defects or performance issues.
- 05
Retentions & Final Accounts
Unpaid retention balances, final account disputes and outstanding sums.
- 06
Payment Notices & Certification
Disputes involving notices, certification and the contractual payment process.
We know the difference between an unpaid debt and a construction dispute.
Where a matter can be resolved commercially, TradeClaim manages that process. Where adjudication, litigation or other formal action is required, the matter can be escalated appropriately.
