Debt Recovery Services
Painting & Decorating Debt Recovery Specialists
Painters and decorators work hard to deliver high-quality finishes — only to find clients disputing costs or simply refusing to pay. Whether it's a commercial repainting contract, a new-build decoration package or a specialist residential project, late payment is a persistent problem.
Hay's Collections helps painting and decorating contractors recover unpaid invoices quickly and without upfront cost. We handle both commercial and domestic cases, pursuing clients who delay or refuse legitimate payments.
Our 15% commission is only charged when recovery is successful — that's our No Collection, No Commission guarantee. We also offer ancillary services such as debtor tracing, statutory demands and legal escalation where needed.
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.
