The Debt Recovery Process

Our aim is to help you recover your funds quickly and easily, preferably without needing to escalate proceedings. However, if a debater does not cooperate, we will be there to ensure any owed debts are recovered.

During the debt recovery process, our specialists can help you at each stage:

  • Issuing A Letter Of Claim

Let us contact your debtors to see if we can resolve the issue and recover the debt without any legal proceedings. Think of a letter of claim as a final warning. If the initial contact is unsuccessful, we issue this legal document to the debtor explaining that if the debt, interest and any compensation agreed upon are still unpaid by a specific deadline, legal action will proceed.

  • Taking Court Action

After making the claim to the courts, the debtor has 14 days to either admit the claim and make a repayment offer, lodge a defence or file an acknowledgement of service. If they do not do so, we can request a judgment (a CCJ). 

We manage every part of court action and can use the following strategies:

  • Attachment of Earnings
  • Charging Orders
  • Statutory Demand
  • Warrant of Control and Defence and Acknowledgment of Service
  • Writ of Control
