Debt Recovery for Independent and Private Schools

Private and independent schools provide outstanding education with significant operational and staffing costs. When parents delay or default on school fees, tuition or boarding charges, the impact on school finances and budget planning is considerable.

Hay's Collections recovers debts for private schools across the UK. We pursue unpaid school fees, tuition arrears, boarding fee balances and extracurricular activity charges. Our approach is professional, sensitive and effective — protecting your school's reputation while recovering what you are owed.

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.
