Debt Recovery

What is involved?

We will explore the possibility of a settlement without the need for issuing court proceedings, whether that is a formal mediation, informal correspondence, or a round table meeting. Where that is not possible, we will issue or defend court proceedings and will take your case all the way to a trial in the County Court or High Court, whichever is appropriate for you. If the debtor fails to respond or pay within 14 days of receiving our letter, you can begin court proceedings.

This includes:

Preparing the court documents.
Submitting the court documents to the County Court Business Centre for issue.
Notifying you when the court have processed the claim and the deadline for the debtor to respond.

For this stage, the fees and disbursements are set out below and depend on the size of the debt and whether the claim can be sent to the court online or by post.

How much does this service cost?

We are able to offer a fixed fee service, unless a debtor files a defense to a claim.
