Litigation (Debt Recovery)
When money is owed and not repaid, it can create both financial pressure and uncertainty. We assist individuals in recovering debts efficiently while following the correct legal procedures.
We typically begin by assessing the situation and attempting to resolve the matter through pre-action correspondence. In many cases, disputes can be settled without the need for court proceedings.
Where court action is necessary, we handle the process from start to finish, including issuing claims and representing clients in the County Court. Once a judgment is obtained, we also advise on enforcement options to recover the debt.
Our Approach
Pre-Action Steps
Pre-action steps involve formal correspondence aimed at resolving a dispute before going to court. We assist clients by:
- Drafting and sending formal demand letters to debtors
- Engaging in negotiations or alternative dispute resolution to secure payment
- Advising on the strength of your case and possible outcomes
By taking proactive steps, we often help clients recover what they are owed without the need for lengthy litigation.
Court Claims
If pre-action steps do not achieve a resolution, we support clients in pursuing claims through the County Court. Services include:
- Preparing and issuing claim forms and court documentation
- Advising on procedural requirements and deadlines
- Representing clients during hearings or mediations
Our goal is to ensure that claims are properly presented and that the client’s legal rights are fully protected.
Enforcement
Once a court judgment is obtained, we assist in enforcing it to recover money owed. Enforcement options include:
- Bailiffs (High Court or County Court Enforcement) to collect owed amounts
- Charging orders to secure debts against property
- Attachment of earnings orders to recover money directly from a debtor’s salary
We guide clients through the most effective enforcement strategy, ensuring compliance with legal procedures and maximising the chances of recovery.
