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.
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.
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 choose each step, see every price before you pay, 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 reference 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.
Use the calculator below to see what you can add, or calculate late payment interest with the formula and reference rates in full.
Interest accrues at the reference 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
