Upload your aged debtor report. We work out the statutory interest and compensation on every invoice, what you can expect to collect, and check every customer on the Companies House register.
The law adds compensation and interest to every business invoice paid late, for up to six years. Upload your aged debtor report and see exactly what you are owed, invoice by invoice.
Nothing is stored unless you ask for the report. If you do, we keep it under your email address for six months so it is already in your portal if you open an account, then delete it. How we handle your file
Under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, a business customer who pays late owes you fixed compensation on each invoice, plus interest for every day it was late. It applies to invoices already paid, if they were paid late in the last six years (five in Scotland).
Interest is the Bank of England base rate of 3.75% plus 8%. Twenty invoices like this one come to £3,138.40.
Your aged debtor or invoice report from Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or FreeAgent, as CSV, Excel or PDF. Include paid invoices and their paid dates if you can. Or connect Xero or QuickBooks above.
We read the columns ourselves and show you how we read them. No set-up, no account, no card.
Overdue balances, statutory interest, fixed compensation, a Companies House check on every customer and your Clearline Score out of 100.
Yes. The scan and the report cost nothing and there is no card to enter. You only pay if you later ask us to recover money for you, and then only on what we recover.
No. The scan only reads the file you give it. Nothing is sent to anyone unless you open an account and approve it.
Yes. If a business customer paid you late in the last six years (five in Scotland), the interest and compensation are still owed. Add a date paid column to your report and the scan works them out.
No recovery, no fee. On overdue invoices we charge 10%, 15% or 25% of what we recover, depending on how old the debt is. On interest and compensation from invoices already paid late, the fee is 18%. Full details are on the pricing page.
You decide which customers to include. You can leave out your best accounts and claim only from those that pay late as a habit.
Recovery likelihood falls with age: debt under 90 days worked properly recovers at 70 to 88%; debt over a year at 25 to 45%, and less where the register shows a company in trouble. The strongest argument for acting now is on this chart.
| Debtor | Invoice | Amount | Days overdue | Interest | Compensation | Recoverable | Likelihood |

No win, no fee. We chase every invoice above, claim the interest and compensation, and remit fast. You approve every escalation.
Statutory figures are calculated, not estimated. Interest at the Bank of England base rate plus 8%, applied at the reference rate in force when each invoice became late (currently 11.75%), on the gross sum including VAT. Compensation per the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998: £40 under £1,000, £70 from £1,000 to £9,999.99, £100 at £10,000 and above. Every figure on this page is computed by the same engine that writes the PDF, including the Companies House check on each customer, so the two cannot disagree. Recovery likelihoods are modelled from debt age and register status; they are estimates, not guarantees.
