# Meridian Commercial Collections
Meridian Commercial is a credit management and collections agency based in Caterham, founded by Kevin and Melanie Bishop following their success with Town and Country Legal Services. The company specialises in recovering overdue payments whilst maintaining client relationships—a distinctive approach that sets them apart in an industry often perceived as aggressive.
The firm serves niche professional sectors including private schools, barristers' chambers, nursing homes, funeral directors, and private healthcare providers. These industries require sensitive, nuanced debt recovery that balances financial recovery with professional reputation management.
What distinguishes Meridian is their philosophy of applying "third party psychology" to collections work. Rather than employing heavy-handed tactics, they combine telephone contact, formal correspondence, email and SMS messaging with skilled negotiation and mediation. Each case is individually analysed to determine the most appropriate strategy, recognising that overdue payments stem from varying circumstances.
The company is fully compliant with data protection legislation and maintains strict client confidentiality. Their professional credentials are substantial: they hold membership with the Association of British Investigators, the Credit Services Association, and the Better Payment Practice Group. This regulatory alignment demonstrates commitment to ethical practices within the collections industry.
Meridian offers both outsourced payment services and professional late payment credit control, providing businesses with a bespoke alternative to in-house collection departments. Their approach prioritises preserving business relationships whilst protecting cash flow—particularly valuable for service-based professionals who rely on ongoing client relationships.
