As a club if you are owed money from participants who have been a member of your club we may well be able to assist you with the Football Debt Recovery Service. There are some restrictions on the time you have to do this and also the type of debt that is owed.

Before you complete the application please note the following:

• Debts can only be recovered if they are within 112 days from the debt owing.
• Debts that are not discipline money, must be in excess of £50
• As the Alleged Creditor (the club who is owed the money) you must be able to prove that you have made reasonable efforts and formal requests (written and dated requests)to recover the debts before you use this service.
• You cannot make an application to recover debts from players under the age of 18, unless they were playing in an Under 18 Competition at the time of the debt.
• Debts can be recovered from: Club Officials, Officials, Managers, Match Officials, Management Committee Members, or members or employees of a Club. These are defined as alleged debtors.
