Debt Recovery Agent in Nigeria

The recovery ladder

Firm, escalating, and lawful at every rung.

Most debts are recovered long before the later steps — but the debtor knows the later steps are real, and that's what makes the early ones work.

Account review & contact trace

We start with your paperwork — invoice, contract, delivery proof, prior correspondence — and confirm the debt is clean and current contact details are correct. A recovery effort built on a shaky invoice fails; we check the foundation first.

Days 1–3

Professional reminders

Structured reminder sequence by phone, email and message — professional, persistent and on-the-record. Many debtors simply need to know a real person is now watching the account and won't quietly go away.

Early stage · resolves most debts

Negotiation & payment plans

Where a debtor can't pay in full, we negotiate a realistic settlement or instalment plan and get it in writing. A structured plan you'll actually receive beats a lump sum you'll only ever be promised.

Where full payment isn't possible

Formal letter of demand

If reminders are ignored, a formal written demand sets out the debt, the deadline and the consequences of non-payment — the document that tells a serious debtor the matter is now escalating beyond phone calls.

Formal escalation

Escalation through legal channels

When a debt still isn't resolved and it's worth pursuing, we help you escalate through the proper legal route — coordinating with qualified lawyers to pursue the debt through the courts. We prepare and hand over a clean, documented file so your legal action starts on solid ground.

Lawyer-led · your decision to proceed

How we recover — and how we don't

Firm gets paid. Reckless gets sued.

Aggressive, intimidating collection tactics don't just fail in Nigeria — they expose you, the creditor, to counter-claims of harassment and can turn a debt you were owed into a liability you now carry. So we don't do that, ever.

Our recovery is professional, persistent and lawful: on-the-record contact, proper documentation, and escalation through the courts via qualified lawyers rather than threats or force. It works because a documented, formal process is exactly what a debtor's own lawyer will tell them to take seriously.

Our recovery is always

Lawful — within Nigerian law, no harassment, threats or intimidation

Documented — every contact and step recorded, so any later legal action is built on evidence

Court-routed when needed — escalation via qualified lawyers through the proper legal system

Relationship-aware — firm without needlessly torching a customer you may still want to keep

Straight answers

Asked before every recovery.

Do you guarantee you'll recover the money?

No honest recovery agent can — whether a debt is collectable depends on whether the debtor has the means to pay, how clean your paperwork is, and how old the debt is. What we commit to is a professional, persistent, fully documented effort through every lawful step, and honest updates on what's realistically recoverable. Anyone promising guaranteed recovery before seeing the account is selling you something.

Is this legal? How do you actually collect?

Entirely lawful, and that's the point. We recover through professional contact, negotiation, formal written demands, and — where necessary — escalation through the courts with qualified lawyers. We do not use harassment, threats, intimidation or force: those tactics are unlawful, they fail, and they expose you as the creditor to counter-claims. A documented, lawful process is also simply more effective, because it's what a debtor's own adviser tells them to take seriously.

What do you need from me to start?

Your documentation: the invoice(s), any contract or purchase order, proof of delivery or service, and a record of prior contact and what's been promised. The stronger your paperwork, the stronger the recovery — and if there are gaps, we'll tell you honestly what they mean for your chances before you spend money chasing.

What happens if it goes to court?

If a debt is worth pursuing and won't resolve otherwise, we help you escalate through the proper legal route, coordinating with qualified lawyers and handing over a clean, documented file so the case starts on solid footing. Whether to proceed to court is always your decision, and court and legal fees are separate costs, agreed with you before anything is filed.

Will this destroy my relationship with the customer?

Handled well, often not — early-stage professional reminders give a genuinely forgetful or cash-strapped customer a dignified way to settle, and many relationships survive. We stay firm but not needlessly scorched-earth, because you told us whether this is a bridge to keep or burn. You set the tone; we execute it.

How does billing work?

A monthly subscription for a dedicated recovery agent, in USD, paid by card online or by transfer against invoice. It runs month to month. Court and legal costs, if a debt escalates that far, are separate and always agreed with you in advance — never sprung on you.

Debt recovery services are provided on a professional-effort basis and delivered lawfully; recovery of any debt is not and cannot be guaranteed and depends on the debtor's circumstances, the age of the debt and the documentation available. Wigmore Trading does not provide legal advice or legal representation; where court action is appropriate, matters are referred to and conducted by qualified independent lawyers, and any court and legal costs are separate and agreed with the client in advance. Recovery is conducted without harassment, threats or intimidation and in accordance with applicable Nigerian law. Monthly subscription; prices in USD. Larger or cross-border portfolios quoted on request.
