Vindox or outsourced
credit control?

Outsourced credit control keeps your whole ledger moving. It chases every invoice, preserves relationships and reduces the time you wait to be paid. It is built for volume and routine. Vindox is built for the one invoice that has stopped moving, where routine chasing has run out of road.

Credit control keeps the ledger current. Vindox recovers the matter that has hardened.

When credit control is the right call

Often, credit control is exactly what you need.

If you need a whole ledger chased on a rolling basis, that is credit control. A good provider does it well. It keeps cash flowing and relationships intact. It is the wrong tool for one invoice that has already hardened, where the debtor has stopped responding to routine reminders and the matter needs a file and pressure behind it. Vindox turns away routine ledger work and points it toward credit control. We take the serious single matter.

Routine chasing keeps the ledger current. It does not build a file.

Credit control produces a healthier ledger. Vindox produces a court-ready file, the record a solicitor or a High Court Enforcement Officer can act on when chasing has run out of road.

Common questions

Common questions

What is the difference between debt recovery and credit control?

Credit control is the routine, ongoing chasing of a whole ledger to keep cash flowing. Commercial debt recovery is the forensic pursuit of one serious invoice that has stopped moving, building a court-ready file behind it.

Should I use credit control or a debt recovery firm?

Use credit control to keep a whole ledger current. Use recovery for the single serious invoice that routine chasing has not moved.

Can Vindox chase my whole ledger?

No. That is routine credit control, a volume task with different tools and a different cost base. Vindox takes the serious single matter that has hardened. We point ledger work toward outsourced credit control.

What does Vindox produce that credit control does not?

A court-ready file: the complete evidenced record a solicitor or a High Court Enforcement Officer can act on without reconstruction. Routine credit control produces a current ledger, not a file built for the step after chasing fails.

Is Vindox more expensive than credit control?

It is a different model. Credit control is a retainer or a ledger fee. Vindox is no recovery, no fee, a commission only on what is recovered on the matter.
