The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has caused a huge upheaval in the way we live and work, and for private landlords, it has presented a difficult situation. With many tenants left unable, or unwilling, to pay their rent, it has meant millions of pounds of rent arrears have piled up. What can you do to get the money you’re owed in a timely fashion?

Investing in debt collection services

If you have rent that you’re owed, it’s time to invest in professional and accredited debt collection services. You can try and chase the debt you’re owed yourself, but for many landlords, that is just an exercise in frustration. Uncooperative tenants, and in many cases a complete lack of communication, can leave even the most well-meaning landlords with no option but to pursue legal enforcement. This can be an expensive and equally time-consuming process though, so is best avoided if possible.

This is where a professional debt recovery service can come into play. Using the necessary skills and experience picked up through collecting debts for a variety of private landlords, you can be sure the outstanding arrears you’re owed are paid in a timely and stress-free fashion. Covid-19 means difficult times for everyone, but it doesn’t mean obligations disappear.

Choosing the right debt recovery team

Who do you choose to handle the debt recovery, however? It’s a sensitive issue, there’s no way around it, and as a landlord, you want to make sure you both get your rent but maintain your good reputation with your tenants. This is why you should choose a well established and highly regarded debt collection agency like Nightfox Investigations to best represent your interests.
