Hiring a company for commercial debt collection is tricky. After all, not only are they collecting any debts that may be owed to you, they are also protecting or harming your reputation depending on how they act.

Here are a few ways you can know that the commercial debt collection company you hire is a reputable one, and that you will not have to worry about your reputation being destroyed.

Customer testimonials -- The first place to start is by checking customer testimonials from former customers. This will allow you to see if the people who have used them in the past were happy with their service. Just be sure to only consider companies that have companies you can actually speak to.

Do they work with you and your team? -- Some companies specializing in commercial debt collection do all the work themselves without consulting with you or your team along the way.

Only hire a company that will work closely with you during the commercial debt collection process. If you do, you will be able to change your strategy if the one they are using is not working, thus saving you wasting money you can ill afford.

Office of Fair Trading guidelines -- Any Commercial Debt Recovery company you hire should guarantee they only work under Office of Fair Trading guidelines.

Remember, the company is representing you and you do not want to hire a company to collect debts that is doing so illegally. Especially if customers report them to the Office of Fair Trading.

Do they offer credit control help? -- Sometimes the way to stop having people owe you too much money is by not offering them the credit in the first place.

Look for a commercial debt collection company that also helps with credit control, and you could find you have less problems in the future collecting debts than you do now.
