Debt Recovery

One of the basic and traditional reasons why people turn to solicitors is to get paid on a debt which the debtor has failed to pay; or from the other viewpoint, to defend claims made against them. We recognise that the procedures and costs involved have to be effective, and commensurate to the sums involved. We have both the experience and procedures in place to provide clients with an efficient service either for the one off case, or for a portfolio of recoveries.
 
We as a firm also recognise that the pursuit of litigation can be costly not only in terms of money, but also in time and emotional energy. The decision to follow the route of litigation is one to be taken with care and with sound advice; and we have the experience and resources to assist you in those preliminary considerations.
 
Using computerised procedures, we can minimise the delay and cost in initiating or defending debt recovery cases, and give an enhanced service in reporting progress to clients.
We can assist, for example, in:
  • Letters before action
  • Issuing of small claims, County Court and High Court proceedings
  • Preparing defences to claims and counterclaims
  • Taking enforcement proceedings including attachment of earnings, charging orders and sending of bailiffs or sheriffs officers to seize goods
  • Issuing statutory demands
  • Taking and defending insolvency proceedings
In appropriate cases, particularly involving bulk processing of claims, we can agree appropriate scales of charges taking account of the volume element.
