Get in touch for a free consultation. We’ll review your situation, assess the debtor’s circumstances, and discuss the options for recovering the debt.
In the first instance, we’ll reach out to the debtor with formal letters and phone calls to encourage immediate payment. This often prompts a resolution without further legal action.
If pre-legal methods don’t work, we’ll guide you through issuing a formal claim in court. We will work to secure a County Court Judgment (CCJ) or another court order.
If the debtor still doesn’t pay after court action, we’ll pursue enforcement methods such as bailiffs, wage garnishments, or freezing bank accounts to recover the funds.
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.
HideHow 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.
HideDo 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.
HideWhat 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.
HideWhat is a County Court Judgment (CCJ)?
A CCJ is a court order that confirms the debtor must pay the debt. If they fail to comply with the CCJ, enforcement actions such as bailiff intervention or wage garnishments can be pursued to recover the money.
HideCan you recover debts from individuals as well as businesses?
Yes, we can recover debts from both individuals and businesses. Whether the debt relates to unpaid invoices, loans, or personal debts, we have the expertise to handle it.
HideHow much does it cost to take legal action to recover a debt?
The cost of taking legal action will vary depending on the complexity of the case. However, with our no win, no fee service, you won’t need to pay anything upfront. We will explain all potential costs during your free consultation.
HideCan I recover interest on unpaid debts?
Yes, you are often entitled to claim interest on unpaid debts. The rate depends on the terms of the original agreement, or statutory interest can be claimed at 8% per year if no rate is specified in a contract.
HideWhat should I do if the debtor disputes the debt?
If the debtor disputes the debt, we can assist in resolving the dispute, whether through negotiation, mediation, or legal action. We’ll carefully review the dispute and advise on the best course of action.
HideWhat methods can you use to enforce a debt?
Enforcement methods include instructing bailiffs, freezing bank accounts, placing charging orders on property, or obtaining attachment of earnings orders. We’ll recommend the best enforcement option based on the debtor’s circumstances.
HideCan you help with international debt recovery?
Yes, we can assist with international debt recovery. We have experience dealing with debts across borders and can advise on the appropriate legal procedures for recovering debts from overseas.
HideHow do I start the debt recovery process?
To start the process, contact us for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your case, assess the debtor’s financial situation, and recommend the best strategy for recovering the debt.
HideWhat if the debtor declares bankruptcy?
If the debtor declares bankruptcy, recovering the full amount of the debt may be challenging. However, we can still help you file a claim with the bankruptcy trustee to ensure you receive a share of any available assets.
HideCan I pursue debt collection if I don’t have a contract?
Yes, it’s still possible to pursue a debt even if there isn’t a formal contract. As long as there is evidence of the debt, such as invoices, emails, or agreements, we can help you recover the money.
HideIs it worth pursuing small debts?
Yes, we can help you recover smaller debts efficiently. Even small amounts can have a significant impact on your cash flow, and we’ll advise you on the best approach to recover them quickly.
HideWhat 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.
HideCan 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.
HideWill pursuing a debt damage my relationship with the debtor?
Our goal is to recover your debt while maintaining professionalism. In many cases, debt collection can be resolved without damaging business relationships, especially if a settlement or payment plan is negotiated.
