Debt Recovery Services

Debt Recovery for Marketing and Advertising Agencies

Marketing and advertising agencies invest heavily in creative talent, media buying and campaign execution before receiving client payment. When brands, publishers or corporate clients delay or refuse payment for completed campaigns, creative work or media spend, the cash flow impact on your agency is severe.

Hay's Collections recovers debts for marketing and advertising businesses across the UK. We pursue unpaid campaign fees, creative invoices, media buying debts and retainer balances.

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.
