Debt recovery USA

[influential]

One of my businesses is owed money by a UK company that is closing but that has a related US operation that's still functioning nicely. I suspect funds have been shifted from UK-to-US, and the directors are hoping those of us owed funds will just walk away. My company is one of many facing a decision on how best to try and chase these funds. I've got a debt mgmt company onto the UK side of things, but I fear it's good money after bad, as I'm 99% sure the UK operation is pretty much closed down.

Anyone got any experience on chasing debts to a US company?

(The usual story - phone calls, emails etc. all being ignored)

We use overseas debt recovery agents and they've been not too bad. Not cheap, but a percentage of something is better than nothing eh?

Company we use are called OVAG.

My company do this, we are UK based and although we take a healthy commision we have done it for a long time and know what we are doing. Do you want me to get one of your agents to give you a no obligation call?

before they can chase, you'll need to prove that the debt is owed by the US company - could be tricky.
