Debt Recovery Services

Expert Debt Recovery for Engineering Companies and Consultants

Engineering companies and consultants provide high-value technical expertise, detailed design work and project management services — often invoicing after significant time and resource investment. When clients delay or dispute engineering fees, the financial impact on your practice is substantial.

Hay's Collections recovers debts for engineering businesses across the UK — from individual engineering consultants to large multidisciplinary engineering firms. We pursue unpaid consultancy fees, design invoices, project management fees and engineering contract balances.

Our 15% No Collection, No Commission model means you face zero financial risk. We only earn when we successfully recover your engineering debt.

In addition to our core No Collection, No Commission debt recovery service, we provide a comprehensive range of ancillary services — including debtor tracing, credit checks, legal escalation, statutory demands and enforcement support — ensuring your case receives the full specialist attention it deserves.
