SMALL CLAIMS & MONEY CLAIM ONLINE DOESN’T WORK!
Filling in the Money Claim Online forms (MCOL) is a simple process, but is it effective for small claims? Does High Court Enforcement work when you have a High Court Writ? If your debtor ignores the Money Claim Online action you can get a default County Court Judgement but this does not get you your money back, this will get you a piece of paper from a man in a wig confirming you are owed money.
You pay them a fee to either get your piece of paper or to then enter in a long drawn out process in court to fight to get that piece of paper, it would cost many hundreds and thousands of pounds to win and if a defence is put in and YOU DO NOT GET YOUR COSTS BACK. We have heard too many stories of people failing to get their money back even through High Court Enforcement using a High Court Writ, let alone just using the Money Claim Online service (or trying to) as a short cut!
Are You Thinking Of Taking Your Debtor To Court? Don’t!!!
If your Money Claim Online progresses through the Small Claims Court Process and you get your piece of paper you then need to give it to a Debt Collector, don’t expect the courts bailiff to do this for you.
If you hand it to a court bailiff you will get a 60 year old man in a van that will earn around £20k per year asking your debtor to pay in instalments, the court bailiff is not financially motivated to get your debt recovered and whether he collects £20 or £200k he will still get a £20k salary and his little white van.
This will have your debtor laughing at you even more.
High Court enforcement officers are authorised by the Lord Chancellor and assigned to one of a number of enforcement districts. Unlike a courted bailiff, who is an officer of a lower court, an HCEO (high court Enforcement Officer) is an officer of the High Court, and consequently has much greater power – you’d think this would mean you’ve more chance of getting your money back. In our experience, it doesn’t!
Once the High Court writ is awarded, the judgment debtor can avoid the removal and sale of assets by either paying in full or agreeing to a repayment plan. Most of the plans take year before they’re settled. If that’s what you want, to wait year, go down this route!
A Man Like This Will Be At The Door To Collect
You do not need a court order to recover your money!!!
Writing letters and making telephone calls does not work, you will have done all that so you don’t need to do it all again with that piece of paper in your hand from the small claims court.
The courts are a waste of time.
You do not need to give lawyers your hard earned money
Lawyers are a waste of time, we are a money claim online and small claims alternative. A lawyer will help you achieve a pice of paper but won’t help you achieve what you really want…..Payment in full.
What do we do?
We will visit your debtor within 24 hours, we will visit your debtor in all the places they don’t want us to appear, whether that be at the Head Office where the MD hides not paying their suppliers like you or whether it is at their home where they do not care that your company or personal account is in the red.
All our debt collector’s have body cameras that record everything that we have done, and yes, we will send you that footage. Imagine that, watching your own Debt Recovery by our Old Fashioned Debt Collectors.
How are drones used in debt collection?
Surveillance drones are unmanned aircraft used to gather still images, video recordings or live video of people, vehicles, property or specific areas.
Our fully licensed drone operators use their aircraft to safely gather information and intelligence that can be used to assist decision-making during the debt collection process. Using drones for surveillance can provide access to areas that may be difficult or impossible to reach on foot or by vehicles and more importantly it allows an unobtrusive way to gather vital intelligence.
Drones can secretly observe debtors to ensure that during the debt collection process action is taken at a good time so that the collection goes to plan. It’s also a great way to observe hidden assets, especially on large commercial or residential sites.
Snoozing on debt collection? You risk losing! Get the money you’re owed sooner rather than later
Coronavirus continues to cause absolute havoc for everyone. The economy is in a very uncertain period right now, and it’s affecting everyone. From businesses to buyers, many are feeling the squeeze. So much so that it’s estimated business debt could double to £8.6 billion by the end of 2021.
Do you want the money you’re owed to be a part of that £8.6 billion? Of course not! So you have to act now.
Getting ahead with debt recovery
It can be hard to know when to push the button on debt recovery services. You likely know your clients and customers are having a hard time, just like you are, and you don’t want to appear ruthless in getting what they owe you. The reality of the matter is, however, that if you leave it too long, ultimately, it’s only your business that’s going to suffer. Is that an outcome you’re willing to accept?
The key element of any debt collection strategy is timeliness. You need to have a clear idea of the timescales involved in your unpaid debts. When was the debt established? How much, if anything, has been paid so far? Have you been able to make contact with the debtor? These are all things you need to keep your focus on. Granted, it’s difficult in the whirlwind that is business operations during Covid-19, but it’s something you’re going to have to get to grips with if you want to keep your invoices fully paid up and your cash flow as consistent as possible.
Your debts aren’t all that’s owed.
Remember that your business is not the only one most of your customers will have been dealing with – they will likely have accrued debts with other businesses as well. This can be through malicious and deliberate failure to repay, or it can be through a simple change in circumstances – it doesn’t make a difference; the money is still owed to more people than just you. So that means there’s a queue.
If there’s a queue to get money back, where do you want your business to place in it? The answer is, of course, first! But to do that, you need to be on the ball and make sure that any unpaid debts are pursued as soon as possible. It’s always a priority.
Getting professional debt recovery help
This is where it pays to contact the professionals, such as Nightfox Investigations. We have extensive experience in all manners relating to prompt and stress-free repayment of owed debts. We’ll work with you to establish your unpaid debt situation before prioritising the pursuit of the money you’re owed. Where necessary, we can assist with establishing payment plans to help encourage prompt repayment.
We pride ourselves on the compassion and dedication we show during the pursuit of an unpaid debt. We’re there to represent your business, and as such, we’re going to do it to the best of our abilities. This keeps your debts paid and your brand image whole.

BUT JUST WHY DOES THIS TACTIC TEND TO WORK SO WELL?
Instruct us today
When you instruct Nightfox Investigations to recover bad debt, you’re working with experts who just won’t take “no” for an answer. In the first instance, we carry out doorstep calls to conduct face to face debt collections and we cover the entire UK and overseas.
It’s never a problem if your debtor has disappeared without a trace from the address registered on your account because our superb investigation techniques will soon winkle out your debtor’s new address. Unlike High Court Enforcement, we will search for your debtor at multiple addresses and travel to where we need to.
We utilise the most technologically advanced tracing systems to track down UK debtors and also specialise in overseas debt recovery. We have almost 75 years’ experience in tracking down debtors and ensuring our clients are paid back the cash that’s owed them. Whenever our debt collection techniques need reinforcement, we put legal actions in place in the High Court.
Quick resolution to the problem
Compared to other methods of debt recovery, face to face is the fastest way of getting your money back. Rather than wasting lots of time sending letters back and forth, debt recovery in person can begin within 24 hours and often get it sorted out in one visit. Even if the initial visit does not work, subsequent visits will still provide quicker results in most cases than sending emails or letters. in comparison, the Money Claim Online service is slow and rarely ends up in a successful outcome.
Impossible to ignore
There is one major advantage debt recovery in person gives – people suddenly find the money in question when they have someone with authority in front of them asking for it! Other ways of trying to get your money back are just too easy to ignore or laugh off. This is certainly not the case when a professional debt collector is there in person to assess the situation and ensure your debt is taken seriously.
Stops you being left until last
One big problem many businesses can have with debtors is being the last in a long queue. This is not ideal as it can see you wait a long time to get paid, if there is any money left by the time your turn comes. Face to face collection eliminates this issue by making sure you are first in line to be paid and not pushed to the back.
Our charges
Our fees are based on reasonable commissions from the debts we collect on your behalf; we charge reasonable expenses to cover the cost of visits and administration, this is fully recoverable from the debtor and added to the debtors liability this ensures that you achieve the best possible returns on cash owed to you. There are no hidden costs when you instruct Nightfox Investigations to recover debts, so give us a call today and let’s get the ball rolling immediately.
Do not wait for your debtor to pay others, the one that shouts the loudest will get paid first!
Face to face debt collection with Nightfox Investigations
Here at Nightfox Investigations, we help UK businesses get the money they are owed. Our professional team of debt collectors are highly experienced in face to face recovery and will get your money back, quickly! Although the current situation with COVID-19 may make this not possible right now in many cases, we will be able to recover your money in person as soon as official advice from the UK Government allows us too.
Communication is key
One of our first objectives is to open lines to communication with your debtor, normally this is what our clients have lost, this is usually because the debtor is usually prioritising other creditors and not you, we at Nightfox make sure you are the first on your debtors mind in a morning and the last thing at night. Those that shout the loudest get paid first.
Act Quickly
The most important factor in a successful recovery is to take action quickly rather than waiting for a Court Bailiff to be appointed! If the debtor won’t pay or can’t pay, there will no doubt be other debts they won’t or can’t pay.
Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss any matter of Personal, Business Debt or Asset Reclamation, we’re happy to talk.

NO MORE EXCUSES….
“Nightfox are hands down the best debt recovery agency. I had two tenants who owed me 4 months worth of rent which was handled by Nightfox extremely professionally. They also recovered costs for the locksmith to came out and change the keys so I actually ended up with more than I thought I could get.
They also handled my finance’s debt which had been outstanding for over two years. It was when Covid first hit and her flights were cancelled. We never thought we would see that money again especially after calling multiple other debt recovery agencies who told us they couldn’t do it as they have had many cases like this in the past and were unsuccessful!”
Damon Wiseman
“My husband and I were victims of a Covid removal scam last year, by a professional conman no less! We went through all of the correct channels – ActionFraud, the Police and finally the Small Claims Court. Despite the scammer being known to the police, they had no intention of opening a case against him; the man had 15 counts of fraud on a previous conviction! ActionFraud closed our file. The Court gave us a hollow default CCJ a year later but in truth it seems that no-one was interested in helping us recover or losses.
It is only when I got in touch with Nightfox that our claim was taken seriously. Phil and Anthony were courteous, understanding and incredibly professional throughout. I only wish that we contacted them sooner and not wasted all the time, effort and expense going through a process which seems designed to let scammers get away with it. I would highly recommend Nightfox to anyone just wanting to get the job done, no nonsense. Thank you for the outstanding service gents, we won’t forget it!”
Natasha Gothard
“After investing £170k into a scheme from a cold call I didn’t really have anywhere else to turn, Nightfox sent a man called Dean to see me who put me at ease straightaway. I told him I would love to be a fly on the wall and in a way I was as I got to see progress via the camera’s that are used. Big shout out to ‘Queen Bee’ Beatrice Smith for getting the information over to me and making prompt payment after each collection”
Adam Thompson
“Got scammed from a friend of mine and was left betrayed and hurt. With no sight of money being returned I turned to NightFox Investigations and was uplifted after only one phone call and a couple of days everything had been sorted! Amazingly professional, kind, understanding and quick results. Can’t thank them enough”
Abby Smith
“A cowboy builder wrecked my house leaving me with damage and unfinished work to the tune of £37000. I didn’t think I would stand a chance after wasting £6000 in court and legal fees. I got my money, my fees and costs back swiftly so really I am bowled over and grateful that I came across the Fox. I hope I don’t have any problems again and will not hesitate to use these again.”
Christine McGuire
“Nightfox gained my confidence within moments of our first conversation. I spoke to Brian on the telephone, he is both professional and empathetic in his attitude and immediately planned the most effective route to collecting the debt owed to our company. I am completely satisfied with the service Nightfox offer and strongly recommend them to anyone in need of a successfully collected debt.”
Christine Walker
“Overseas debt collected. We had a problem in the USA that needed resolving. Happy to say it has been resolved to my satisfaction, I even got to watch the footage. Thanks again.”
Gary Harmer
“5 Star Debt Collectors, they do not mess around, they visited my debtor within a day of instruction – I just had an email with video footage of the visit and the look on the face of the company director that owes me was priceless. I’ve just had a payment in my bank”
Paul Hannigan
“I have been in business for a long time. As with any business there is always the worry of putting too many eggs in your proverbial basket and a client deciding not to pay as happened to me. This is devastating and can finish your dreams for ever, but help is at hand. As Corney as it sounds “If you have a problem” pick up the telephone and be assured that night fox will listen and help. Professional people doing a professional job. ..Many thanks to Mr Dunne and all of his staff.”
Philip Astley
“Having had no success after a year pursuing recovery of money owed to me, I chose Nightfox Investigations to recover the money on my behalf. I have been completely amazed at the speed which Phillip and his Team successfully secured all of the money due to me. What a great result. I can’t overstate the way it feels to have achieved a just outcome! All of this is due entirely to the solid, professional action of the Team at Nightfox Investigations.
If you’ve reached the end the line over money owed to you, don’t give up! Don’t hesitate, instruct Nightfox to take on recovery of your money. Just let them do what they do best and you could get a great outcome too. Thanks to the Team @ Nightfox for taking all the aggravation away AND getting my money back … fantastic!”
Franklin Macdonald
“Thank you to all team at Nightfox, Phil, I would like to say a massive thank you for the recovery of my debt. As you no doubt know being in construction we are used to having our invoices chipped away on. However to be told we will not receive a penny and they will see us in court was potentially life-changing and if we had not had found you we were finished. Being owed 52k would have put us into the gutter we cannot thank you and your team enough we wish you all the success going forward. Note to all if you are owed money these guys will not let you down.”
Louis McGee – Electric Center UK
“Many thanks to all the team at Nightfox Investigations & Debt Recovery Limited, from the initial enquiry I made to you guys, to the meeting I had with Phillip Dunn you guys really did take the stress away from what has been a ridiculously hard 2 years, not only was I let down by my lawyer for whom clearly regarded myself and my wife as an open cheque book, but also the system as a whole clearly favoured my debtor and not ourselves, it is hard to put into words to explain how eternally grateful we are to Nightfox and receiving full payment of our 42k and costs will really change our lives going forward, (Phil my promise of a nice 12 year old single malt is on the way to you this is the least we can do for you) my advice to anybody owed money do not waste time and money with lawyers, if you are lucky enough to meet Mr Dunn then you will clearly get to see first hand why these guys and his team are paid.”
Mr and Mrs Edmondson
“Simple solution to a year long problem! My company instructed Nightfox Investigations to recover from another company that we did subcontract work for. They were paid many months ago but claimed they hadn’t been, we heard they had, so instructed Nightfox. I was impressed by their body-cam footage and the fact they visited straightaway, it took them a little under a month to get all the money back including my costs. I cannot thank the team enough and even accepted being told off for calling everyday, sorry… It was all too exciting for my finance team..”
Emily Porter
“Phil will not take no for an answer. When your invoices and calls are being ignored give Phil at Nightfox a call, he will not be ignored and will not be fobbed off.”
Kim Woodhead – MD Pace Fire and Security
