Our Expertise

J&P has provided debt recovery and litigation services since its inception in 1889 and we have been recovering public sector debts since 1990. As a result we have developed an effective approach to public sector debt recovery which is not only compliant with relevant legislation and best practices but also is suitably flexible such that we can embed our approach and strategies within the unique objectives of each individual public sector client.

We have a wealth of experience and practical understanding of the unique challenges that confront our public sector partners, when seeking to recover outstanding commercial and private debts.

Based on feedback from our clients, including many from the public sector, J&P Credit Solutions is ranked in the top tier of the prestigious Legal 500 rankings for Debt Recovery services.

We are also a registered supplier to the Crown Commercial Service legal framework – RM6240, specifically for Debt Recovery services, recognising our history of expertise and professionalism in dealing with public sector recoveries.

We currently work with over 30 public sector clients, including local authorities, social housing providers and central government bodies.

Our success has been based on our unique partnership approach to debt recovery and litigation in the public sector:

We understand the important statutory responsibilities that underpin the services public sector bodies provide and ensure that our recovery and litigation processes have due regard for vulnerability issues and fairness, whilst still being effective.
We have a reputation for devising practical and innovative approaches to risk sharing and conditional fee pricing arrangements.
We work on a consulting basis to support in-house teams to minimise risk, prioritise cases and maximise recovery rates.
We have developed specialist product solutions for niche areas of complex debt recoveries such as adult social care debts and deceased debtor recoveries for example.
We go the extra mile with services like our Specialist Client Visits – joint visits with council officers and expert staff aimed at resolving debt disputes and securing payments, particularly in difficult or vulnerable circumstances.
We agree and deliver bespoke strategies, services, and systems integration with our latest case management software.
We provide regular training seminars and networking events tailored specifically for public sector clients.

Our public sector clients are served by three specialist teams: Collections, Claims and Enforcement and the Litigation Team.
