Legal Stationery – A Strong Signal That Payment Is Now Urgent.
When internal reminders have been ignored, the introduction of a third-party specialist creates immediate impact. A professionally issued letter from NPD — on our recognized agencyletterhead — makes it clear that the matter has now escalated and that you are taking firm
action to recover what is owed.
These letters demonstrate that non-payment is no longer a casual matter and that your business is fully prepared to pursue the debt through formal recovery channels if necessary. It removes over-familiarity, adds weight and urgency, and prompts the debtor to act before the situation becomes more serious.
In the vast majority of cases,
this step alone results in immediate payment or a constructive response — avoiding the disruption and expense of legal escalation.
Low Cost and Highly Effective
Our service is designed to keep your credit control costs to a minimum. You only pay for the letter, and if early action is taken, there is usually no need for further recovery costs. This makes NPD pre-legal communications a cost-effective first step when internal reminders have failed.
Flexible Delivery Options
Letters can be issued by email only to reduce costs and ensure fast delivery, or by post if a more formal approach is required. All posted letters are also sent by email wherever an address is available, providing both speed and a clear audit trail of communication.
