Logistics Debt Recovery
UK logistics operators carry some of the most structurally vulnerable cash flow positions in British business. Drivers and warehouse staff are paid weekly. Fuel is bought daily. But invoices to retail clients, manufacturers, and e-commerce businesses routinely run 60, 90, and 120 days overdue — often hidden behind damage claims, POD disputes, and weight discrepancy challenges that arrived weeks after the load was delivered and signed for.
The result: a £67,000 invoice from six weeks ago is sitting unpaid while you've already moved the client's next 40 loads. Chasing it internally feels like threatening a contract you can't afford to lose. That structural conflict is exactly why a named third-party recovery firm recovers money your operations team won't.
Net-30 and net-60 terms stretched to 90-120 days by retail and manufacturing clients. POD disputes and damage claims used as leverage to delay legitimate invoices. We separate valid partial disputes from deliberate payment tactics — and pursue both correctly.
Monthly storage, pick-and-pack, and fulfilment charges accumulate fast when clients delay. E-commerce clients using 3PL services often go quiet after peak season, leaving months of recurring fees unpaid. We recover the full ledger, not just the most recent invoice.
Container detention and demurrage charges are contractually agreed but routinely disputed after the fact. Clients claim notification failures or shipping line errors. We recover demurrage that clients agreed to in writing but are refusing to honour.
The Core Problem
In logistics, the person who has the relationship with the client is also the person responsible for winning the next contract, the next lane, the next tender. That makes internal chasing structurally impossible at any meaningful level of aggression.
A driver shortage, a rate renegotiation on the horizon, a new dedicated contract in discussion — all of it keeps the account manager soft-pedalling invoices that are 90 days past due. We come in as a named third party. We have no contract to protect. We have one job: recover the money you're owed.
Common scenarios
Retail client, 14 loads, won't pay citing "damage on three"
Classic partial dispute used to block the entire ledger. Our audit separates the disputed loads from the undisputed ones. We recover the undisputed balance immediately and handle the partial dispute separately — you're not waiting on three loads to release eleven.
E-commerce client using 3PL, went quiet after Christmas peak
Post-peak e-commerce silence is one of the most common 3PL debt patterns. October to January invoices, then nothing. These clients have had their peak season funded by your services. We recover the outstanding balance and put a payment plan in place if needed.
Container detention bill, client says they were never notified
Notification disputes are predictable. We work from your documentation — booking confirmations, email trails, agent notifications. If the contractual basis is there, we recover it. If there's a genuine notification gap, we advise on the realistic position before committing time.
Manufacturer client, 90 days overdue, "AP processing delay"
AP processing delays that last 90 days are not processing delays — they're deliberate holds. A structured escalation from a named third-party recovery firm moves a debt from "stuck in AP" to "approved for payment" faster than any internal chaser will.
Client disputes the fuel surcharge add-on after accepting loads
Fuel surcharge disputes applied retrospectively are contractually weak for the debtor if your terms included variable surcharges. We review your carrier agreement and rate confirmation — if the basis is solid, we recover the surcharge alongside the base freight invoice.
"We can't chase — they're our biggest account"
This is the most common reason logistics operators come to us with 120-day-old debt. A third party changes the dynamic entirely. We make contact professionally, without threatening the commercial relationship. You stay out of it. Most large-account debts move when escalated externally.
