These figures show that the Credit Review Office upheld the credit appeal 147 times or 55% of cases concluded to end August 2013. This shows that there is a strong prospect of success for businesses going to the Credit Review Office and I would strongly encourage SMEs refused credit to seek a review by the Office.
