Our Services


At Hidenda Legal LLP, we understand how frustrating it can be when you’re owed money and the debtor refuses to pay. Our debt collection services are designed to help businesses and individuals recover unpaid debts swiftly and legally. Our services include:

  • Pre-Legal Debt Collection: Contacting debtors through letters, emails, and phone calls to encourage immediate payment.
  • Mediation & Negotiation: Helping to settle disputes and negotiate payment plans with debtors to avoid further legal action.
  • Legal Debt Recovery: If pre-legal methods fail, we can pursue court action to recover debts, including obtaining a County Court Judgment (CCJ) and enforcing it through bailiffs or other methods.
  • Enforcement Actions: Once a court order is obtained, we can enforce it through means such as property repossession, attachment of earnings, and charging orders.

Whether your debts are commercial or personal, our experienced team can handle cases of any size, from small unpaid invoices to large outstanding amounts.

FAQs


What is debt collection?

Debt collection is the process of recovering money owed by an individual or business. It can involve pre-legal actions such as sending letters or making phone calls, or it can escalate to formal legal proceedings.

Hide

How long does the debt collection process take?

The time it takes to recover a debt depends on the complexity of the case and the debtor’s willingness to pay. Pre-legal methods can sometimes resolve matters in a few weeks, while legal proceedings may take several months if court action is required.

Hide

Do you offer a no win, no fee service?

Yes, we operate on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless we successfully recover the debt. This allows you to pursue debt recovery without financial risk.

Hide

What happens if the debtor refuses to pay after court action?

If the debtor refuses to pay after a court judgment, we can enforce the debt using methods such as instructing bailiffs, securing charging orders against the debtor’s property, or obtaining an attachment of earnings order.

Hide

What is a County Court Judgment (CCJ)?

Can I pursue debt collection if I don’t have a contract?

What happens if I’m counter-sued by the debtor?

If the debtor attempts to counter-sue, we’ll provide expert legal representation to defend your case. We’ll guide you through the process and ensure your rights and interests are protected.

Hide

Can you recover debts that are more than a year old?

Yes, debts can generally be recovered for up to six years from when the debt became due. If the debt is older, we can assess whether there are any limitations that apply to your case.
