"North East Derbyshire District Council has enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Dukes for a number of years. They provide a highly professional, quality service which meets the requirements of the Council.

I believe that their success in collecting some very difficult debt is largely down to the fact that they contact and visit our debtors to discuss the debt and payment options available, rather than relying on a standard letter service.

Over the years Dukes have been successful in collecting debt that we believed was uncollectable and their performance has surpassed our expectations."

John Hall, Recovery Manager
North East Derbyshire District Council

"Dukes Bailiffs have constantly delivered as a supplier to the Council (and predecessor council) over the last 16 years, and have proven to be a reputable, reliable and approachable debt enforcement partner with an excellent track record of collecting debt "

"we have been using Dukes for nearly 16 years and have found them to be a most excellent service provider. Service is of a consistent and high level and has assisted us in reaching our collection targets…the service has been streamlined and improved…even with this increase we rarely receive any complaints and I feel that this is a reflection of the high quality of service and commitment of the employees of Dukes.
