How we can help
Our team will take the time to understand your business objectives and provide you with a practical and effective solution.

How do I Start a Claim?
By getting in touch with our debt recovery team, we will arrange a time to understand your situation and objectives. We will then be able to advise you on the best course of action to recover your debt.
We find that writing a letter before action can focus the debtor’s mind leading to prompt payment. However, if the debt isn’t forthcoming our recovery team is experienced in extracting the amount no matter the situation.

Stages of Debt Recovery
Letter Before Action
Before any legal proceedings take place a letter before action must be sent. From our experience, the majority of cases result in payment at this stage.
Legal Claim
If you do not receive a satisfactory response, then the next step is to issue legal proceedings through the county court. The debtor will be sent a court form requiring them to pay the debt as well as interest within a set period.
County Court Judgement (CCJ)
The CCJ is an order form the courts that can establish the debtor has defaulted on a payment. This is the final decision by the court, giving the claimant power to enforce action to collect on the debt.
Enforcement
Once a CCJ has been obtained then it is possible to enforce the debt straight away. Our team can advise you on the appropriate method of enforcement.
Insolvency
At any stage of the debt recovery process, insolvency proceedings may be required. This is if the un-disputed debt is not paid on demand meaning the debtor is deemed insolvent.
If you have a concern that the debtor may be being approached by other parties chasing payment, commencing a Winding-Up proceeding against a company means your case will be prioritised for payment.
Instead of the normal process of issuing a county court claim, you can commence insolvency action by sending a Draft Winding Up petition to a company or statutory demand to an individual.
