Intelligent credit control software
Credit control software that knowswhat to do when reminders fail.
Shaped by 50 years of frontline credit-control and recovery experience, Control handles the routine and brings you in when judgement matters.
Hypothetical product example, not a real client outcome. Someone asks the Credit Control Companion: A customer promised to pay on Friday. They still haven't paid. What would you do next? Suggested next steps: Check with us whether their financial circumstances have changed. Highlight the failed payment promise, now recorded in writing. We can help draft a firm but fair response, referencing contractual liability and the broken promise. Three separate invoices then update: Control resolved the dispute, Control received the remittance, Control got you paid. You stay in control. Control handles the routine.
No card. No long setup. You stay in control. It never gets firmer than you allow.
Free for 30 days. No card needed.

Practical questions
Can I connect my accounting software?
Direct Xero, Sage and QuickBooks connections are on our roadmap to roll out very soon. For now, you can upload invoices from a CSV — even a messy one — add them manually, or scan your invoices and drop them in. Simple!
What happens when I start?
“Start 30 days free” currently reserves access for launch. It does not create an account or begin your trial. Your free 30 days start when Control opens.
What about my data and privacy?
UK-based hosting. Your account data is not shared with other customers or RecoverAble Solutions recovery-service staff. A data processing agreement (DPA) is available on request. Your data & privacy.
The experience behind Control
Why I built Control
Simon Handley, Founder
15 years' experience within debt recovery
- RecoverAble Solutions
- RecoverAble Locate
- RecoverAble Control
Some of my earliest lessons in recovery came at 4am, in the rain, clamping vehicles over unpaid council tax in some tough parts of London. It wasn't glamorous work, and it taught me quickly that unpaid debt is rarely just a figure on a screen.
Since then, I've worked in office-based recovery for independent schools, funeral directors, recruitment firms, blue-chip companies and all sorts of businesses in between. I've helped recover tens of millions of pounds and trained over 200 staff along the way.
The same problems kept coming back: missed promises, awkward conversations, cashflow under pressure and relationships nobody wanted to damage. For sole traders and small businesses, one unpaid invoice can be the difference between coping and falling behind.
The invoices change. The missed promises, difficult conversations and cashflow pressure keep coming back. That is the cycle I wanted to change.

The hard part isn't sending another reminder.
It's knowing what to do when the easy answer stops working.
- They promised Friday. Friday passed.
- They are communicating, but not really cooperating.
- A dispute appears after months of promises.
- A payment plan no longer makes commercial sense.
- You want to protect the relationship, but the balance keeps growing.
These are judgement calls. They are the moments that have occupied our team for years — and the reason Control exists.
Why Control is different
Control does not just remember what happened.It understands why it matters.
- A customer promised to pay and didn’t.
- A previously quiet account suddenly raises a dispute.
- An invoice keeps ageing.
- A company’s position is deteriorating.
- A payment plan no longer makes commercial sense.
Judgement from people who recover money for a living.
Control draws on 50 years of combined frontline credit-control and recovery experience at RecoverAble. A broken promise, changed risk or a live dispute matters because it changes the sensible next step — not because it calls for more pressure.
Recommendations are proportionate to the facts. You still decide what happens and how the relationship is handled.
The point is not more pressure. The point is the right next step.

Built for difficult relationships
For schools, discretion and firmness are not opposites.
Bursars and finance teams often have to recover overdue fees while preserving a relationship with the family. Control is being shaped around those real decisions — promises, payment plans, fee disputes, fees in lieu of notice (FILON), family context and when a matter genuinely needs escalation.
