One client
won’t pay?

A single invoice is overdue, your reminders have been ignored, and it is too small for a solicitor but too big to write off. Recover it yourself — your first reminder is on us, and you stay in control throughout.

Direct answer

If another business owes you an undisputed invoice up to £10,000 in England & Wales, you can recover it yourself: a polite reminder, then a Letter Before Action, then a County Court claim. RobinReturn prepares each step at a published price (your first reminder sequence is free, then £2 per sequence), takes no commission, and the client pays you directly.

TL;DR

  • For an undisputed B2B invoice up to £10,000.
  • Your first reminder sequence is free, then £2 per sequence — no subscription.
  • No commission — you keep the invoice, interest and compensation.
  • You send it as the litigant in person; you stay in control.
  • Add statutory interest and fixed compensation to what you claim.
The situation

Too small for a
solicitor, too big
to write off.

A high-street solicitor's letter can cost more than a £1,500 invoice is worth — so the debt drifts, and the cashflow hit lands on one person: you.

RobinReturn closes that gap. Your first reminder sequence is on us and each one after is £2, so you can apply professional pressure at a price that makes sense for the amount owed, and you only escalate to a Letter Before Action or a claim if you need to. You are never locked into a subscription and there is no percentage taken from what you recover.

It is also worth knowing exactly what you can claim: on top of the invoice you can add statutory interest (Bank of England base rate plus 8%) and a fixed sum of £40, £70 or £100. Both are yours to keep — RobinReturn takes no cut.

Many single invoices are paid at the reminder or Letter Before Action stage, once the client realises you have a clear next step — though every case differs and nothing is guaranteed. The interest and compensation you add are recoverable from the debtor and stay with you.

What you can claim

Debt, interest & compensation

Invoice owed£5,000.00
Statutory interest (11.75% · 0 days)+ £0.00
Fixed compensation (LPCDA s.5A)+ £70.00
Total you can claim£5,070.00

Interest accrues at the Bank of England base rate plus 8% (Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998), about £1.61 a day on this debt. Interest and compensation are recoverable from the debtor where the court agrees — RobinReturn takes no cut of either. Figures are illustrative and not legal advice.

FAQs

Your questions,
answered.

Is a £1,500 invoice even worth chasing?

Often, yes. Your first reminder sequence is free (then £2 per sequence) and you only pay for the next stage if you choose to escalate — so the cost stays proportionate to the debt, and you can add statutory interest and a fixed compensation sum on top.

Who sends the letter — me or you?

You do. You are the litigant in person; RobinReturn prepares the solicitor-drafted documents from your case. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.

Will my client know I used a service?

The letters are professional and sent in your name as the creditor. The point is to look organised and serious, not to hand your client to a debt collector — there is no commission and no third party takes over the relationship.

What if my customer is a private individual, not a business?

RobinReturn is for B2B debts only. If your customer is a consumer, this workflow is not the right fit — the eligibility check will flag it before you pay anything.
