Redwood Collections

Recover unpaid balances

 firmly but fairly

Debt recovery that 
protects reputation

Reputation carries weight across the funeral sector.

A funeral director may be owed money by a bereaved family, while a supplier may be waiting for payment from a funeral business they've worked with for years. Both need to be handled with the relationship in mind, without losing sight of the unpaid balance.

We work with NAFD members to recover overdue balances in line with the circumstances. Bereavement is handled sensitively, while established business relationships are treated with due consideration. Expectations remain firm and escalation follows when cooperation stops.

 

 

Why Redwood?

More recovery
routes

A wider range of recovery options under one roof than standard collection agencies.

15%
commission

Our typical commission rate is based on the amount recovered, not the hours involved.

No collection,
no commission

We only charge on monies collected. Pursue payment without the risk of commission on an unsuccessful recovery.

Transparent
fees

Know the cost before proceeding with ancillary charges. Our fully transparent fee system covers all litigation actions and defences upfront.

No long‑term
contract

No fixed contracts unless requested. Referring a debt doesn't require a long-term commitment.

 

More routes to recovery

Collect what you're owed with more routes to recovery than standard debt collection agencies. 

These options cover businesses of any size and debts at virtually any stage, with case details kept on file so another route can be explored if the first is unsuccessful, without the hassle of starting from scratch or providing the same documentation again.

"We have been using the professional services of Redwood Collections to deal with our debt collection matters for the last four years.

We continue to find them to be excellent, proactive and productive and they have continually kept us informed with the process they are making with the debtors.

As they look after many Funeral Director clients, they are aware of the delicate nature of debt collection in our profession, and we have no hesitation in recommending them to our fellow professionals."

Leverton & Sons Ltd

Funeral Partners

“We have been using Redwood Collections to assist us in recovering our unpaid invoices for several years. We have found that if a debt is recoverable then Redwood Collections are almost always successful.

Over the years we have been using Redwood Collections, most of the clients we have referred have eventually paid their debts in full.

When a debt is referred, Redwood Collections always takes immediate action, usually a letter is sent on the same day. If a case is of a sensitive nature, they are able to deal with it compassionately.

The team at Redwood are always friendly and helpful and are ready to offer support and advice should we need it."

Hollowells Funeral Directors

“I have used the services of Redwood Collections for several years. During this time, I have had a dedicated contact who has always been available with honest advice and help especially in the most challenging of cases.

Making referrals to Redwood is quick and easy by either email or post. Account details and payments are sent regularly and are easy to understand.

As an independent funeral director, I have had experience of plenty of debt recovery companies all promising to recover money owed to me, all failing on that promise.

Redwood Collections has outperformed all of these companies. I would not hesitate to recommend them. I owe them my thanks.”
