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.

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

    Yes. We have considerable experience recovering debts from companies in Edinburgh and across Scotland. It makes no difference whether your business is based in Edinburgh, elsewhere in the UK, or overseas. We take ownership of the process and pursue what you are owed directly.

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

    No. What you need is an agency with the expertise and tenacity to recover your money. Edinburgh is a major commercial centre, and the debts that arise there tend to involve contractual complexity and commercially sophisticated debtors. That requires a skilled approach, not a local office.

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

    Yes. International businesses regularly instruct us to recover debts from Edinburgh-based companies. When commercial relationships with Scottish companies produce unpaid debts, we step in and manage the recovery on your behalf without you needing any local representation.

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

    Proximity has never been a factor in how successfully we recover debt. Our Edinburgh clients chose us based on our commercial expertise, our track record, and the quality of our communication, not our distance from the city. You will always know what is happening with your case, and you will always be able to reach the person handling it.

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

    Edinburgh has a broad commercial base, and we handle debts from businesses across every sector. Whether the dispute involves a professional services contract, a technology agreement, a construction project, or any other commercial arrangement, we have the experience to deal with it. Disputed auto-renewals, contested professional fees, and complex licensing arrangements are all within our regular scope of work.

  • How does your fee structure work?

    We only earn when you do. Our fee is a commission on what we recover, agreed with you before we start. The rate reflects the age, value, and complexity of the debt. There are no hidden costs, no retainers, and no invoices from us unless we have delivered a result.

  • What information do you need to get started?

    The key documents are the outstanding invoice or invoices, the contract or terms governing the commercial relationship, any correspondence between yourself and the debtor, and the debtor's contact information. If you can provide evidence of delivery or service completion, that helps. But do not hold back if your documentation is not complete. We will assess what you have and take it from there.

  • How long does the recovery process take?

    It depends on the nature of the debt. Undisputed debts from Edinburgh businesses often move quickly once we engage. Disputed debts, particularly those involving complex contractual arrangements, tend to require more sustained negotiation. The one constant is that instructing us sooner gives us a stronger hand. The longer a debt ages, the harder it becomes.

  • What happens if the debtor disputes the debt?

    We approach every dispute with the same discipline: detailed contract review, evidence gathering, and a structured response that addresses each of the debtor's arguments on its merits. We do not get thrown off by disputes. We work through them, regardless of which sector they arise from or how entrenched the debtor's position appears.

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

    Yes. Edinburgh is home to a significant number of large businesses with serious legal resources. Our team is well accustomed to dealing with in-house counsel and external solicitors defending complex positions. We have decades of experience at this level and our approach, grounded in evidence and contractual analysis, stands up to professional scrutiny.

  • What if commercial recovery does not work?

    If the commercial route has run its course, we will tell you plainly. We do not string cases along hoping something changes. If litigation is worth considering, we lay out the options, the costs, and the realistic prospects of success. Our legal partners handle proceedings where needed, and funded litigation is available for qualifying cases.

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

    Background. Our leadership team comes from inside major multinational companies, not from the collections industry. We spent years managing high-value international debt portfolios before building Turner Clifford. That gives us a perspective most agencies lack. We understand how businesses operate, how decisions get made internally, and how to apply pressure that actually leads to payment. It is why businesses across Scotland and internationally bring us their most difficult cases.

  • How do I get started?

    Submit your details through our online quote tool and we will respond with a no-obligation quote within minutes. Or get in touch by phone or email and we can discuss your situation directly. There is no commitment at that stage, and if you decide to proceed, we can have your case underway almost immediately.
