Find your next step
Select the situation closest to yours. Nothing you select is submitted or stored.
You have done the work or supplied the goods. Gather your invoices, contract and correspondence, and find the official company update.
Read the creditor guide →If the missing payment is making wages, suppliers or other commitments harder to meet, explain what is due and what concerns you most. You do not need every answer before a first conversation.
Preparing for a business-pressure conversation →There is the money you are owed, and the impact on your own business. A first conversation can help you explain both and identify what needs further professional advice.

Your first conversation
You deal with this once. We deal with it every day. Start with what has happened and what is worrying you most, and we will work out together whether there is anything useful we can do. The first conversation is free, with nothing to sign.
Talk through what has happened and where to start.
Before you call
Yes. No charge for the first conversation and nothing to sign, though your usual call costs apply. Being straight about it: the first call is for both of us to work out whether there is anything useful we can do. If it becomes professional work later, that is a separate agreement with its own fees, put to you in writing first.
No, and be wary of anyone who says it does. We are independent of the administrator, and formal claims go through their own instructions and forms. Our Bathla Group information page links straight to the official creditor portal.
Less than you think. The company name from your contract, roughly what you are owed, and the thing worrying you most. Approximate numbers are fine. You do not need your paperwork in order before you ring, and waiting until it is tidy is how people lose a fortnight.
Our first company-specific resource covers Bathla Group. The general creditor guide is also a starting point for other administrations. You can also talk through an unpaid customer invoice whoever the customer is.
Start with a conversation
Whether you are trying to understand an unpaid account or feeling the pressure on wages and supplier bills, start with a no-obligation call. Explain what has happened and discuss the next step.

Talk through what has happened and where to start.
Useful information. Clear boundaries.
Every page here shows where its facts came from and the day we last checked them. Where something is reported rather than confirmed, we say so. Where a document could not be read, we say that too, rather than filling the gap with a guess.
We are independent of the companies and administrators we write about. For anything formal, use the official creditor documents.
