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 Bristol?

    Yes. We recover debts from businesses across Bristol and the wider South West regularly. Your own location is irrelevant. If a Bristol company owes you money, we pursue it on your behalf and manage the entire process through to resolution.

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

    No. Recovery outcomes depend on the agency's expertise and their approach to your case, not on where they are geographically located. We recover debts from businesses across the South West without needing a Bristol office, and our results are as strong as any locally based agency.

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

    Yes. International businesses frequently instruct us to recover debts from UK companies, including those based in Bristol and across the South West. We handle the full process, managing all communications with the debtor and navigating any jurisdictional or contractual complexities on your behalf.

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

    What matters is the quality of the service, not the distance between us. We work with Bristol businesses who use us to recover debts from companies anywhere in the UK and overseas. You get a dedicated account manager, direct communication, and a team that treats your case as a priority. That is what good service actually looks like, and it does not require a local office.

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

    Bristol has one of the strongest and most diverse commercial economies outside London. We deal with payment disputes from businesses across every sector in the city, whether the debt arises from a technology contract, an aerospace supply agreement, a construction project, professional services fees, or anything else. Disputed invoices, aged receivables, contested contracts, and complex multi-party disputes are all within our scope.

  • How does your fee structure work?

    We operate on a commission basis and are only paid when we deliver. The rate depends on the specifics of the debt, particularly its age and complexity, and is agreed before any work begins. There are no retainers, no upfront charges, and no hidden costs.

  • What information do you need to get started?

    Invoices, the contract or terms of business, any correspondence with the debtor, and their contact details. Supporting documents like proof of delivery, signed completion certificates, or acceptance emails help strengthen the case. If you do not have a complete file, get in touch anyway. We will work with whatever is available and advise on anything else that would be useful.

  • How long does the recovery process take?

    It varies case by case. Debts where the facts are straightforward can resolve within weeks of our engagement. Disputed debts or complex situations involving multiple parties take more time. What we can say is that delay always works against the creditor. Instructing us earlier gives us the strongest possible position with the debtor.

  • What happens if the debtor disputes the debt?

    We handle disputed debts as a core part of our work. Whether the disagreement relates to the scope of a contract, the quality of work delivered, the terms of payment, or something else entirely, our approach is the same: we analyse the documentation, build a clear factual position, and engage the debtor constructively but firmly. Disputes are not a dead end. They require the right expertise, and that is what we bring.

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

    Yes. Bristol is home to a number of major corporates, particularly in aerospace, defence, and technology, many with serious legal resources. Our team has decades of experience dealing with legal counsel on complex commercial disputes. We build detailed, evidence-based cases that hold up under professional scrutiny, and the size of the debtor does not affect our approach.

  • What if commercial recovery does not work?

    We will level with you. If commercial recovery has been exhausted and the debtor will not engage, we explain your options clearly. Our legal partners can take the matter further through litigation, and we facilitate both self-funded and funded options for cases that justify it. We will never push you towards legal action if the case does not support it.

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

    Our background. We did not start in the collections industry. Our leadership team spent decades inside multinational corporations managing international commercial debt portfolios. That gives us a fundamentally different perspective. We understand how businesses make decisions, how contracts work in practice, and where the pressure points are in complex disputes. It is why businesses across the South West and beyond come to us with their toughest cases.

  • How do I get started?

    Submit your details through our online quote tool or get in touch directly. We will review the debt, provide an honest assessment, and give you a clear, no-obligation quote. If you want to proceed, we can be working on your case within days.
