ABOUT CDI Credit Management
Our History
Since our establishment in 1988, we have been dedicated to providing exceptional support to over 50,000 clients, offering services such as invoicing support, credit checking, and debt collection. Over the years, our commitment to excellence has earned us recognition as leaders in the field of debt collection and credit control, with features in prestigious publications like The Times and The Guardian.
As our team and services have continued to grow, we made a significant move in late 2024 to our new offices at Avalon House in Sunderland. This relocation not only accommodates our expanding collections department but also positions us to explore and implement innovative ways of working, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the industry.

Invoice Recovery & Mediation
Managing overdue invoices in-house can be time-consuming, emotionally draining, and detrimental to maintaining client relationships. We specialise in resolving outstanding payments efficiently while adhering to legal and ethical practices.
Involving the CDI team for mediation helps preserve your professional relationships with clients. You may struggle to maintain objectivity during disputes, potentially harming long-term partnerships. We can act as impartial negotiators, helping both parties reach amicable resolutions without escalating the conflict.

Corporate Insolvency
Insolvency doesn’t always mean debts are unrecoverable. Creditors can file a proof of debt and may receive proceeds from asset sales. Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs) offer repayment plans instead of full write-offs. Expert guidance can help navigate insolvency and maximise recovery. Acting promptly improves the chances of reclaiming owed funds.
Approximately £500 million goes unclaimed within insolvent company funds each year. We will make sure that funds which rightly belong to you do not become part of this statistic.

Litigation
When mediation fails to resolve a dispute, pursuing litigation can be the most effective way to protect a small business’s financial interests. Litigation provides a legally binding resolution to disputes, ensuring that outstanding debts are addressed and your business isn’t left absorbing losses.
While litigation can be time-consuming and costly, the potential recovery of significant debts often outweighs these challenges.
