Debt Recovery

Whether you are recovering money or being chased for payment, many unforeseen legal issues could arise.

If you are seeking to recover money consideration should be given as to how best to proceed.  Consider the following:

• Do you obtain our advice and then write to the Debtor demanding payment, setting out your legal rights?
• Send a Solicitors letter?
• Serve a Statutory demand (first step towards bankruptcy)?
• Court proceedings and best available remedy?
• How best to enforce my judgement, seizure by bailiff, other means.
• Consider Debtor's assets, are they worth pursuing?

We can advise on all methods of funding, including legal aid.

If you are being chased for money consider: -

• Do I owe the money - is there any liability?
• Can I counterclaim i.e. the goods and services were not to a reasonable standard.
• Are there legal reasons why I should not have to pay i.e. lack of a Contract, limitation of the claim etc.?

As can be seen the recovery of a debt might not be a simple as it appears.  We can give specialist advice on all of these and funding issues (i.e. legal aid)
