Debt Recovery FAQs
Stage 1 (Before court) – £450 + VAT
Before a matter reaches court, we review all paperwork such as invoices and contracts, undertake relevant searches against the debtor to establish if there is risk of insolvency and where the address is known, we undertake a Land Registry search against the debtor’s property.
We will then send a letter of claim against the debtor and report to you, regarding any issues and alternate options such as a Statutory Demand. Payment will then be made to you on receipt or, if the debt remains unpaid, we will proceed to stage 2 if required.
Stage 2 (Court proceedings) – £600 + VAT
When commencing court proceedings, we will draft and issue your claim. If no Acknowledgment of Service and/or Defence applies, we will apply to the court to enter judgment in default and report the outcome to you. Upon receipt of the judgment, we will write to the judgment debtor requesting payment. If the judgment debt remains unpaid after 14 days, we can continue to assist you by proceeding to stage 3 if required.
