You can instruct the Chaser Collections team to collect invoices issued to companies in the UK (in GBP), or CCI Credit Management to collect invoices issued outside of the UK on your behalf from the Collections page, or the receivables>invoice tab.

Ready to collect

Invoices of £250 (or equivalent in the invoice currency) or more in value (i.e., the threshold applies to single or multiple invoices' total value) and more than 30 days overdue are considered Ready for Collections.

These invoices are in the Collections Ready box on the Collections page.

Escalate to collections

On the Collections page, you can view your overdue invoices. To escalate one or more invoices, click the Get quote button on the right or the bulk editor on the left.

N.B. you may get a more favorable rate if you ask for a quote for multiple invoices vs. single invoices.

Get Quote 3
In the receivables page, escalate to Chaser Collections using the three-point dot menu on the invoice or the bulk selector on the left and select Quote for Collections.

Collections

The collections process: 

  1. Accept the terms and conditions.
  2. Add collection details to the customer.
  3. Once you click the Get quote button, the invoice chasing is temporarily paused and is marked as Pending.
  4. For GBP collections, within 24 working hours of clicking Request Collection, the Collections team will review the invoice/s, and either accept the instruction or reach out to you for further details. For non-GBP collections, please allow up to fourteen days for a comprehensive response, to allow for consideration of local legislation and collection procedures.
  5. The Collections team will be automatically added to your Chaser organization, and for GBP collections, they will record all communications within Invoice History. For non-GBP collections, they will record communications within the Customer History section.
  6. Your invoice status will change to Collecting.
  7. Your Receivables tab will be updated with all activity (Invoices>History for GBP collections, or Customers>History for non-GBP collections).
  8. You can cancel collections for any pending invoice by selecting Cancel Collections in the three-point menu in the Collections page
