We bridge the gap between you and your debtors, employing a strategic mix of firm negotiation, legal compliance, and persistent follow-up to ensure you recover what is rightfully yours. Our dedicated approach is designed to secure results while preserving your brand's reputation.
Your Options for Debt Recovery in Kenya
When seeking debt recovery help, creditors in Kenya generally have three primary options, each with distinct pros and cons:
1. In-House / DIY Collection: This involves using your own staff to chase payments. While it avoids external fees, it's often inefficient. Your team may lack the specific training, time, and psychological disposition required for effective collection. It diverts focus from core business activities and can strain client relationships, with a typically low success rate for difficult debts.
2. Hiring a Lawyer: A lawyer can send a demand letter and file a lawsuit. This is a powerful option for undisputed, high-value debts where the debtor's location and assets are known. However, the legal process can be slow and expensive, with upfront legal fees, court costs, and no guarantee of success. Litigation should often be a last resort, not a first step.
3. Engaging a Professional Debt Recovery Agency: This is the most balanced and effective solution. An agency like Swipe Recoveries specializes exclusively in debt collection. We offer the tenacity of in-house collection combined with the legal authority of the law, but in a more cost-effective and efficient package. We are experts in negotiation and skip tracing and operate under frameworks like the Auctioneers Act when enforcement is needed. Our services are often provided on a contingency basis, minimizing your financial risk.
Our Proven, Compliant Recovery Process
Our process for providing debt recovery help is built on years of experience and a deep understanding of the Kenyan legal and commercial landscape. It is designed for maximum efficiency and compliance.
Step 1: Case Intake and Strategic Review. We begin by reviewing all documentation you provide—invoices, contracts, statements of account, and previous correspondence. This allows us to understand the case fully and devise a tailored recovery strategy.
Step 2: Professional Communication and Demand. We initiate contact with the debtor as a professional third party. Our first official action is to issue a formal Letter of Demand. This communication clarifies the consequences of non-payment and establishes the seriousness of the matter, often prompting immediate payment.
Step 3: Persistent Negotiation and Follow-Up. Our skilled negotiators engage the debtor through phone calls, emails, and, if necessary, physical visits. The goal is to secure payment in full or negotiate a realistic and binding payment plan. We are firm, professional, and persistent.
Step 4: Legal Escalation and Enforcement. If amicable efforts are exhausted, and with your approval, we escalate the matter. We work with our legal partners to file a claim in court. Upon obtaining a judgment, we collaborate with licensed auctioneers, regulated by the Auctioneers Board, to enforce the decree through asset attachment and sale.
Transparent Fees: The 'No-Win, No-Fee' Advantage
Financial uncertainty is the last thing you need when you're already owed money. That's why our primary model for providing debt recovery help is based on contingency fees. This 'No-Win, No-Fee' promise ensures that you pay us a commission only from the funds we successfully recover for you.
Our commission rates are competitive and transparent, typically ranging from 10% to 30% of the collected amount. The exact percentage depends on factors like the debt's age, value, and the anticipated complexity of the recovery. For instance, a recent, well-documented commercial debt will have a lower commission than an old, personal debt with a missing debtor. Any potential costs for ancillary services, like in-depth asset searches or court filing fees (which can start from KES 2,000-5,000 for a Small Claims Court matter), are always discussed and pre-approved by you, ensuring there are no hidden charges.
