Unpaid Bills & Debt Recovery

Customers who fail to pay their bills are a real problem for many businesses. We can guide you through debt recovery processes and also offer advice on implementing systems to reduce the number of late or non-paying customers.

Debt recovery – what can you do?

Trying to recover a debt from a client or business is a real nuisance. Not only does chasing a payment take up your valuable time, it can also seriously impact cash flow, especially if the sum is substantial.

If you’re in this position, you might be wondering what legal options are open to you. We can advise you further, suggesting what would be an appropriate course of action in your particular case. Our advice will be proportionate to the value of the debt.

Often, the first step is to send a Letter Before Claim. This requests that the debt be settled by a certain date. If this proves unsuccessful, you might consider taking your case to court. If the court issues a judgment in your favour, but the debtor remains elusive, then you can ask the court to enforce the judgment.
