Testimonials
I have been using Wise & Co for 8 years. In the three years prior to this, when I first began in private medical practice, I used other debt collectors. Results were poor. The medical director at the private hospital where I work recommended Wise & Co to me. Since then I have always had a superb and conscientious service with very good results.
There is no doubt that you can't win them all – people declare bankruptcy, leave the country swiftly or there is a long line of debtors before you which leaves little hope of getting paid. It can never be said that Wise & Co have not done their utmost even in these virtually hopeless circumstances. But when monies are retrievable they are retrieved. It was a very unpleasant shock after years in the NHS to discover how dishonest a small but significant minority of people are. It may be a small number but given the vocational effort one puts into all the people one sees (NHS and private) it is about respecting oneself to at least be paid for that concern, time and energy.
I can remember feeling quite hopeless about some considerable sums owed. I now hand things over very promptly to Wise & Co. This avoids an enormous waste of time and aggravation and gets results. I've never looked back since!

When it was necessary to use Mr. Wise's Services in the past between 2003-2010 I was impressed by his ability to collect monies that I found impossible to get myself.

Thank you very much for your most professional service over the last 10 years. I have tried a variety of people over the years to collect unpaid fees but none have demonstrated your consistent success rate or professionalism

Leslie helped us recover 2 debts, both of which were more than six months old - and ones where we had all but given up hope of collecting the money. Within 2 weeks we had been paid by both customers. Leslie is prompt, responsive and professional and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Credit Control – Any fool can sell if he doesn’t expect to get paid
With 40 years of debt collecting behind me, it is a constant disappointment how many customers coming to me for help do not actually know who their debtor is. If you give credit, then you really need to know. “the Best in London.” It does not matter a hoot when things go well. BUT when things go wrong there is a world of difference whether the debtor is a limited company or an individual. When the limited company fails to pay, suing is probably pointless. Often all that is likely […]
Landlords letting residentially
Guarantors. A good tenant can be a pleasure. A bad one a disaster. About one in seven of enquiries at the moment are from sad landlords chasing residential rent arrears. Often they have no idea even where the ex-tenant has gone to. We tell them that they have been cheated and they just have to to get on with life. But they can learn. They took up references, but have they thought that the next tenant could be asked to provide a guarantor. The form is simple. Estate agents use […]
Landlords, beware! (two possible lifelines)
We generally advise landlords trying to recover RESIDENTIAL rent arrears that unless they have a lot of time to spare they are on a hiding to nothing. The delinquent tenant, if they even know where he/she is, has cheated them and by the time they catch up with him will have left cheating the next landlord too. We work on a “no win no fee” basis, but recently we have relented and for a down payment are now prepared to help recovery. Just two things: 1) Our main hope is […]
