Federal Management

Federal Management is a United Kingdom commercial debt collection company that also handles large and international claims. It trades as FEDERAL MANAGEMENT LTD, founded in 2004 and registered under number 05292720, with an office at Federal House, Maple Court, Maple View, Skelmersdale, Lancashire WN8 9TW.

Services

The company lists three services: commercial debt collection, international collection and the recovery of large debts. The focus is on business-to-business claims, which differ from consumer collection in that they often involve contracts, disputed invoices and legal action rather than payment reminders alone.

Markets

Two markets are stated: the United Kingdom and international collection. The countries where cross-border claims can be pursued are not listed.

Practical points

For suppliers, payment businesses and merchants with an overdue balance from a commercial customer, a specialist collector can be an alternative to going straight to court. Terms such as commission, minimum claim size and what happens if a debtor disputes the claim are not published. These are the first questions to raise with the company, along with how it handles claims in foreign jurisdictions and whether litigation is done in-house or through partner firms.
