    Frequently asked questions

    4D Contact can provided managed legal services across all continents. We have a network of agents in over 100 countries and have flexibility to extend our reach if you are looking for support elsewhere.

    Most of our legal partners operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, charging a percentage of the total amount recovered. Should court action be required, no one will commence proceeding until an accurate estimate of costs are provided which clearly outline the probability of success and are agreed by the client.

    If the debt is settled in the pre-legal stage we charge a percentage of the amount collected. If it is settled once legal proceedings have commenced, we charge a monthly management fee  (which can be as little as £50) as well as a percentage of final settlement. Please contact us for an accurate quote for your individual circumstance.

    To commence collection activity, we will need debtors name and contact details and copy invoices and clarification of your payment terms and conditions. We may also require other documentation to support your claim including copies of contracts, email

    I have worked with Richard, Mark and the 4D Contact team very successfully for the last seven months. During this time, they have managed on behalf of Travis Perkins a high volume, low value portfolio of overdue debt ranging from 30 days overdue to the more difficult +120 days bucket, collecting in excess of £8m.
