Featured Customer Reviews

Nottingham City Council

I have had the pleasure of working with Legal Recoveries and Collections (LRC) for several years across various industries. Throughout our partnership, LRC has consistently demonstrated a deep knowledge of the market and provided strategic insights that have been invaluable to our business. Their excellent communication and commitment to delivering on promises have always stood out. LRC’s proactive approach, engaging early and adapting as needed, ensures that we are always prepared and supported. Their partnership style not only delivers the best results for our business but also enhances the experience for our customers.

Credit Control Manager – Leading International Law firm

“LRC provide a professional and efficient service, delivering regular updates and effective solutions”

International Credit Insurance Client

We have been utilising the legal review services of Legal Recoveries and Collections (LRC) for the past few years, and we couldn’t be more satisfied. Their reviews are consistently thorough and informative, becoming an essential part of our pre-legal processes. This has significantly helped improve our recovery rates and reduced overall legal costs. The team at LRC are also very easy to work with and always available to provide professional advice when needed. We highly recommend their services.

North East Ambulance Service

As an NHS ambulance Trust, we don’t have in-house debt collection specialists, so find it difficult to pursue monies outstanding once our usual follow up process runs its course. LRC was recommended to us by another local NHS Trust and we approached them to find out what they could offer. We have been using LRC for nearly 3 years now and have not been disappointed. Our collection rate is circa 70% which represents a significant sum of money that is coming back into the NHS for patient care.

The team are very knowledgeable on the best route to recovery but will also advise when its just not financially viable to pursue a debt any longer. We have regular updates and meetings with Andrea the client services manager so everything is kept on track. It’s always our decision but LRC give us the best tools to make the right one.

London Metropolitan University

We have worked with Legal Recoveries and Collections for a number of years now and they have provided an outstanding service to us. We have worked closely with the team and have a good working relationship with both Rachel and Andrea. Their online portal is very user friendly. They have collected both pre-legal and post legal debts for us to a high standard and we would recommend their services to anyone considering using them going forward.

Utilita Energy Limited

We contacted LRC when we wanted to strengthen our collections processes and recover debt after we had exhausted our internal processes attempting to collect. From the off, LRC offered exceptional advice and support and helped us shape the way in which we approach collections. The team at LRC have a wealth of knowledge and experience which has enabled them to collect a significant amount of money on our behalf and through their professional approach have helped to change customer behaviour in many cases from infrequent to regular payers. LRC have tailored their collections activities to meet our needs and regularly make suggestions to make sure we spend our money wisely to ensure maximum return from their services . We are currently working with LRC to create a bespoke training package that they will deliver to staff across the business who manage and recover debt. I would not hesitate to recommend LRC for debt recovery.
