Credit Reports in County Durham

Where can you get the best credit reports in County Durham? When you join the Credit Protection Association and you have access to award winning credit information as part of your subscription. Founded in 1914, CPA understands what business owners really need. We provide hundreds of thousands of in-depth credit reports to our members as part of their subscription.

The Credit Protection Association has been providing online credit reports to its members for decades. Even years before the internet we provided credit information by direct dial in. We use a wealth of experience to provide the credit reports you need and want. While carrying all the detailed information required by a Credit Manager, CPA’s headline traffic light scoring system also gives you the key information at a glance. We are partnered with an award winning international credit information organisation to provide credit scores and limits and add information from other sources to give a fully inclusive report. Normally our partner’s information is used by the big credit insurers and banks but SME businesses are able to gain access to this information and scoring through membership to the Credit Protection Association.

If you are in County Durham and your business customers pay you on invoice then we can give you the tools you need to set appropriate credit policies. You are welcome to call us on 0330 053 9263 to discuss your credit report needs.

Why you should call CPA without delay

If you could be absolutely certain that every customer would pay on time, running your business would be much easier! In reality, it’s difficult to know up front who is going to be a model payer and who is going to make you jump through hoops for what you are owed. It is as though you have to work twice over for the money. Bad payers can cause a cash flow crunch and sometimes leave creditors short to invest in their business or even pay their bills. A very slow payer also takes up valuable time and energy in chasing payment. It is a distraction from building a business. In addition, if bad payers turn into non-payers because they go insolvent then that will cause even more stress. Many of these business failures were predictable and therefore avoidable. CPA’s credit reports will help you identify the risks so you can trade with confidence.

Questions people ask themselves can be:

“Would we be concerned about using credit reports as part of our business process?” and “Will it mean we have to refuse business?” and “Is it applicable to our type of trade?”

we answer:

Using credit reports does not mean business will be lost – to the contrary! It will help set appropriate credit policies and credit limits for each customer so that they do not over extend themselves and take credit that they cannot afford. It may mean the supplier needs alternative payment arrangements or requests personal guarantees. Using credit reports helps establish the exact identity of the people they are trading with and an insight into debtors’ financial situations. CPA can also notify you of any changes to each businesses monitored through us. This means the supplier actually has the confidence to take on business they might previously have turned down.
