Our origin story

Trusted by the World's Leading Brands

When customers don't pay, it's never just about the money. It ties up your team, stalls your cash flow, and the longer it sits, the harder it gets. That's where we come in.

We've recovered debt for some of the world's biggest brands, and if there's one thing we've learned, it's that every situation is different. We don't use scripts. We study the contract, understand the relationship, and find the right way in. The goal is always the same: your money back, your reputation intact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact us
  • Can you recover debt from a company based in Birmingham?

    Yes. We have significant experience recovering debt from businesses across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. It makes no difference where your own business is located. If a Birmingham company owes you money, we pursue it on your behalf and manage every aspect of the process.

  • Do I need a debt collection agency based in Birmingham?

    No. You need an agency with the right expertise, not the right postcode. Our work is conducted remotely through detailed written engagement, calls, and structured negotiation. Physical proximity to the debtor has no impact on recovery outcomes. What matters is the quality of the approach, and that is where we excel.

  • I am based outside the UK and need to recover a debt from a company in Birmingham. Can you help?

    Yes. Overseas businesses regularly instruct us to recover debts from UK companies, and Birmingham is one of the most common locations we deal with given the size and diversity of the Midlands business community. We manage everything from our end, including any contractual or cross-border complexities.

  • I am based in Birmingham and looking for a local debt collection agency. Do you need to be nearby?

    Proximity is not what makes a debt collection agency effective. Our Birmingham-based clients work with us because of our commercial expertise and our results, not because of where we are located. You will have a dedicated point of contact, transparent updates, and a team that treats your case with the same urgency you would.

  • What types of debt do you recover from Birmingham businesses?

    Birmingham and the wider Midlands have an enormous breadth of commercial activity. We handle payment disputes across every sector, from manufacturing and construction to professional services, technology, logistics, and beyond. Contested supply chain invoices, disputed project fees, unpaid service contracts, and debts arising from complex commercial arrangements are all part of our regular work.

  • How does your fee structure work?

    Everything is commission-based, and we are only paid for the results we deliver. There are no upfront charges, no monthly retainers, and no hidden costs. The commission rate reflects the age and nature of the debt, and we confirm it with you before any work begins so there are no surprises.

  • What information do you need to get started?

    We need a clear picture of the debt: the invoice or invoices outstanding, the contract or terms governing the relationship, any communications between you and the debtor, and whatever contact details you hold. Supporting evidence like delivery notes or completion certificates helps strengthen the case. If your paperwork is not perfect, that is fine. We will work with what you have.

  • How long does the recovery process take?

    It varies. Debts from Birmingham businesses where the debtor simply has not prioritised payment can resolve quickly once we apply structured pressure. Disputed debts involving contractual disagreements, contested deliverables, or complex multi-party situations take more time. Acting early always improves the chances, and we will give you an honest view of the likely timeline once we have reviewed the case.

  • What happens if the debtor disputes the debt?

    Disputes are a feature of commercial life in any major business city, and we handle them constantly. Whether the disagreement is about what was delivered, what the contract says, or what is actually owed, we approach every dispute the same way: review the contract, map the evidence, and dismantle the debtor's arguments piece by piece. A dispute is not a reason to give up. It is a problem that needs proper handling.

  • Can you recover debt from large companies with legal teams?

    Absolutely. The Midlands has a significant concentration of major corporates and their supply chains, many of which have significant legal departments. We have spent decades dealing with complex commercial disputes at this level. Our positions are built on evidence and contractual detail, not bluster. That is what holds up when you are dealing with experienced legal opposition.

  • What if commercial recovery does not work?

    If commercial recovery reaches a dead end, we tell you directly. There is no point chasing something that is not going to land. Where legal action is a viable option, we connect you with specialist legal partners and explain the routes available, including fully funded litigation where the case qualifies. You will have all the information you need to make an informed decision.

  • What makes Turner Clifford different from other debt collection agencies?

    Depth of experience. Our team did not learn debt recovery in a call centre. They learned it managing international portfolios worth hundreds of millions inside some of the world's largest companies. That means we understand the commercial dynamics behind every unpaid invoice, and we know how to navigate the complexity that trips up most agencies. Businesses across the Midlands trust us with cases others have already failed to resolve.

  • How do I get started?

    Use our quick online quote tool or contact us directly. Provide the details of the debt, and we will come back to you with a clear quote and an honest assessment of the situation. There is no obligation at that stage. If you decide to go ahead, we can typically begin within days.
