Sterling Secures Full Debt Recovery from Top Football Club
At Sterling Debt Recovery, we pride ourselves on acting swiftly, professionally, and with integrity – and this case was no exception.
In early 2025, a client approached us for support in recovering a significant overdue debt from a prominent football club. The outstanding amount related to invoices issued at the beginning of the year.
These were meant to be settled in two instalments. However, the club failed to meet both payment deadlines and proceeded to ignore all further attempts at communication from our client.
Graeme Murdoch, Debt Recovery Manager
By the time the case was passed to us, the invoices were already three months overdue. We knew that time was of the essence. Our team immediately contacted the debtor, outlining the legal and financial implications of continued non-payment. We communicated clearly, firmly, and fairly, ensuring the club understood the urgency and seriousness of the matter.
Our Prompt and Strategic Intervention Paid Off
Within just three days, on 4th April, we secured a substantial first payment, recovering over half of the total debt. A week later, the remaining balance was settled in full, resulting in a 100% recovery of the outstanding amount.
What makes this case particularly rewarding is that our client received more than just the principal debt value. Thanks to the application of late payment interest and statutory compensation, the total sum recovered also covered all of the cost of collection, leaving the client with a surplus.
