About

For over 100 years we have helped suppliers get paid what they are owed. We have an average success rate of over 84% leaving the trading relationship unharmed. If we have to litigate to get our Member's paid, this would often be entirely at the debtor's expense.

They reached out to me on Bark when I was seeking assistance with credit control for our business. I clearly outlined my needs, but they persisted in wanting to meet to introduce their 'systems'. Even after emphasising my requirements, they continued to ask questions that were unrelated. Since then, I've heard nothing. It's clear they were more interested in making a sale rather than understanding and addressing my specific needs. Their approach felt very much like a 'hard sell'. I don't like being sold to in this manner. It feels misleading. More...

Total Waste of Moneys - Credit Protection Associations are a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY - Completely useless service - Did not retrieve a single penny. Be warned they promise not to charge if they don't retrieve debts but they wriggle out of this with small print terms. They also trap you into second term with a excessive cancellation notice period requirements. Total bunch of CROOKS from start to finish. More...

After posting online with some information related to unpaid invoices with a central collections site, I was approached buy various professionals who came back with options how to get the ball rolling.
I chose Cpa to deal with the matter as the initial meeting was at the place work, This company operates nationwide with friendly agents who certainly know their business. everything was explained how to deal with the case and Also importantly the costs. Within a week Pre legal Documents were sent to the debtor. Still in early stages of the file gut instincts tell me that the matter will be resolved soon.

Received a letter stating that we owe £174.72 for late payment on invoices from 5 years ago. On investigation the 4 invoices quoted, the due dates were wrong on one of them, the invoice numbers were wrong on two of them, the amounts were wrong on three of them and payment dates were wrong on all of them. We were on PRO FORMA so don't see how we could pay late!
Contacted Acopia the company who they were supposed working for and they told me to ignore it.
Looks like they are just trying it on - CHECK YOUR FACTS!

Dear Lee, Your client is entitled under late payment legislation to compensation on late payments made to them by business customers. Business customers normally rely on the goodwill with their supplier to not pay on time. However, after a business customer takes his business away from a supplier, the supplier can then claim late payment compensation on any late payments that occurred (as limited by the statute of limitations) as compensation for the additional costs those late payments might have caused. As champions for prompt payment, CPA are happy to help its clients seek to overcome the late payment culture in the UK. Late payment is the biggest killer of the UK's small businesses. By using the legislation as intended, we are showing businesses that paying their suppliers late is not the easy, free, cash flow booster they think it is but it comes with a cost. We are looking to encourage a prompt payment culture! At the same time, we are helping businesses who had had years of costly late payments - which ate into time, resources and cash flow - to receive the compensation they are due. Some of our small SME clients have been able to recover quite sizeable sums from some very large listed companies who for years had a culture of always paying late and treating their small supplier quite badly. James Salmon Operations Director CPA (LPC) Recoveries Limited Associated with the Credit Protection Association.

BEWARE DOESN’T DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN !!!! All you get for your subscription of £2500+vat per year is access to a generic letter that you can download similar for free online. If you need legal help you will be put in touch with a solicitor that will cost thousands of pounds more. Cheaper to pay £100 a year legal protection on your Buisness insurance and get a better service and access to a solicitor and legal advise for free. More...

Dear Caroline, We note what you have written but, because you have not given the name of your company and the full particulars, we are unable to deal with the issue and give you a proper response. The full particulars were given within the letter(s) we would have sent you and all it needed was a simple telephone call to our switchboard or an email. We presume the matter you are writing about concerns a claim for LATE PAYMENT COMPENSATION with reference to an alleged late paid invoice which may not have been settled per the credit terms agreed with our Client. All business suppliers who are paid late by their business customers are entitled to claim late payment compensation under The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 and this is how we help Clients when requested.

I wouldn't have minded so much if the team member wasn't constantly condescendingly asking us why we wouldn't want to utilise your free service (wether or not he meant to sound that way) and keep repeating the same statistics over and over again as well as trying to badger me to recommend other businesses who would want to use the service.People are trying to work during the middle of the day and if I express a disinterest to the service as well as pointing out your services will do me no good you phone should have been put down from then.Your response to this review is also appears to be mainly some sort of advertisement for your services ?Please reconsider how you approach potential customers and do some research into the types of companies you approach.

We have been working with CPA since June 2018, we have never had any outside help with our credit control but thought as our company grows it was definitely something to consider. To be honest we have never looked back. Through the work that CPA have already taken on from us we have seen great results. Receiving payments off customers that I doubt we would have been able to collect on our own. Great, friendly staff, always there to answer any questions. Would definitely recommend CPA to other businesses and look forward to continuing working with them in the future. More...

Dear Mr McMeeking, Your claim under the guarantee was not accepted as the guarantee - which is clearly set out on the contract - only covers debts that are up to 12 months old. It is true that we were not able to collect the old debts that you passed to us but of the 84 debts you passed to us - we collected payment in full on 51 of the debts and otherwise resolved 11 other accounts. taking into account the recoveries made and excluding the older debts, as was explained to you, you did not qualify for a refund under the guarantee. You also will be aware that we agreed to allow you to terminate the agreement despite the fact that you did not give proper notice and we cancelled the renewal subscription.

Nearly 5 years ago we issued a cheque insettlement of a debt of £36 within the terms of our contract. Our creditor delayed banking that cheque for 12 days. In December 2018 CPA wrote to demand payment of 11p interest plus £40 compensation. There is no debt and the relationship with our supplier is damaged by the actions of CPA. Use CPA for legitimate debt collection but there actions in this regard are unacceptable. More...

This business is nothing but a scam!!! We signed up to them as they promised us a 'money back guarantee' where if they did not reclaim 10 times the joining fee (£1330) of money owed to our business, then we would receive the joining fee back after 1 year. We signed the agreement after asking numerous times if there were any clauses or exceptions to this agreement which we were told there wasn't. Once we had the agreement I then noticed the teeny tiny small print on the reverse which made our business an exception to the money back guarantee. I cancelled the agreement think I was covered by the consumer credit act 2 week cooling off period to which they responded this doesn't apply as I signed 'COMMERCIAL CREDIT AGREEMENT'! They are now chasing for the £1330 joining fee! anyone had similar experiences? More...

Dear Mr Smith, We take exception to the allegation that we are a scam. The Credit Protection Association Plc started in 1914 and has had 100,000s of commercial clients over the years, many for many decades. Clearly there was a breakdown in our relationship very early on however the circumstances described are fairly unique. I did find a case similar to the one you describe, shortly before your post although I can find no "T Smith" involved". In that case we did indeed agree to cancel the subscription following an investigation and no subscription was ever paid. James Salmon Operations Director 31/07/2019.
