Family enjoying Bonfire Night fireworks

Bonfire Night | 5 November

Remember, remember…
your overdue invoices this November!

Let the fireworks make the headlines,
not your unpaid invoices.

A little prevention goes a long way

Don’t let late payments become
a burning issue.

Bonfire Night is a time to enjoy the fireworks
and put everyday worries aside. But for business
owners, overdue invoices can be one worry
that refuses to go away.

A payment that’s a few days late can quickly
become weeks overdue. Meanwhile, wages,
suppliers and other commitments still need
paying. The longer an invoice is left unresolved,
the more pressure it can put on cash flow.


Fortunately, you don’t have to wait
for things to go off with a bang!

The Credit Protection Association (CPA)
helps UK businesses take early, professional
action to get paid, while protecting valuable
customer relationships.

How CPA helps

Three ways to take the heat
out of late payments

01

Put out late-payment fires

Our professional
Overdue Account Recovery
service encourages customers to pay your
business directly, rather than paying CPA.
It’s a considerate way to pursue overdue
invoices while preserving customer goodwill.

02

Get cash flowing again

When an overdue account needs escalating,
our commercial debt recovery
team can pursue outstanding payments.
We also offer a no-win, no-fee commercial
recovery route for eligible debts,
subject to agreed terms.

03

Spot trouble before it starts

CreditCare company reports,
credit limits and
monitoring alerts
help you assess customers, watch for
changes and make more informed credit
decisions before problems arise.

Early action matters.
The sooner an unpaid invoice is followed
up, the sooner you can work towards
resolving it.
