Judge & Priestley LLP first opened in 1889 as a solicitors practice specialising in debt collection. The firm quickly became well know nationwide for this activity and, to this day, the firm's debt recovery department (known as J&P Credit Solutions) is still considered to be one of the leaders in the credit industry.

120 years on and debt recovery remains a major part of the practice, with J&P Credit Solutions providing debt recovery services for commercial clients from multi-nationals to small and medium sized enterprises spanning across all business sectors.  We provide a comprehensive debt recovery service to public sector, insurance and fleet management clients.

We recognise that every client is different and each has their own particular requirements. This is why J&P Credit Solutions will tailor, in consultation with you, a debt collection strategy to meet your individual requirements, including the content of letters and the telephone style that we adopt.

We use the County Court Bulk Centre for fast and efficient processing through the court system. This enables us to process volume referrals speedily therefore being in a position to collect your debt that much more quickly. Very often we are able to recover the debt through the courts more rapidly than our clients can do themselves – and at less cost!

Notwithstanding our ability to use the court process to collect our client's debts we offer a pre-litigation collection team with a proven track record of success. Whilst a letter from a Debt Collection Agency may have some effect, the fact that we are able to carry out our threat of issuing proceedings immediately means that debtors usually take notice of our first approach. We believe our pre-litigation service is more effective than an agency approach because of our ability to quickly and seamlessly issue a claim form in appropriate cases without the need for a referral out to a third party.

We are very conscious of the importance of our client's own customer relationships. Accordingly every instruction we receive is treated as unique and is dealt with in a firm but fair manner through to a successful conclusion, thus protecting, wherever possible, your right to retain your customer for future business. Our commitment to you is to collect your debts in an effective and yet ethical way acting at all times in compliance with legal requirements.
