The challenge

  • Overdue Trade Account: Several invoices for supplied goods remained unpaid.
  • International Debtor: The customer was based in Germany, creating additional considerations for debt recovery.
  • Continued Delays: Payment requests made directly by the supplier had not resolved the account.
  • Future Trading Relationship: The supplier wanted to recover the outstanding balance while keeping future commercial dealings professional.

Our approach

  • Account Assessment: Taurus reviewed the invoices, account history and supporting documentation.
  • Debtor Contact: The German distributor was contacted regarding the outstanding balance.
  • Payment Discussion: The reasons for the delayed payment were discussed with the customer.
  • Regular Follow-Ups: The account was followed up consistently to encourage progress.
  • Client Updates: The UK supplier was kept informed throughout the recovery process.

The result

  • Account Progressed: The overdue trade account was brought into a structured recovery process.
  • Direct Communication: The German distributor was engaged regarding the outstanding invoices.
  • Reduced Credit Control Burden: The supplier received support with the international recovery process.
  • Professional Approach: The account was progressed without unnecessary disruption to the commercial relationship.

Background

The UK supplier’s credit control team made repeated attempts to obtain payment. When the account remained unresolved, the supplier decided to use professional international debt collection support.

Conclusion

Wholesale businesses can experience cash-flow difficulties when overseas customers fail to pay for goods within agreed terms.

Professional international debt collection support can help UK suppliers pursue overdue trade accounts in overseas markets while reducing the administrative burden of international credit control.
