Our debt recovery services
We help people across the South West and the wider UK to recover debts quickly and cost-effectively using a variety of methods tailored to your situation.
Sending a letter before action
In the majority of cases, we can recover debts with a friendly phone call or letter, clearly setting out how much is owed, what for and the original payment terms that have not been honoured. Knowing our solicitors are involved is usually enough to motivate people to make payment without the need to escalate the matter.
This approach has the benefit of helping to quickly unlock outstanding payments while keeping things amicable, making it easier to maintain a positive relationship with the person or business that owes you money.
Negotiation
If the debtor claims they cannot pay or have good reason for not paying, some degree of negotiation may be required to secure payment on terms acceptable to both parties.
Our solicitors are highly skilled in these matters and can usually find a positive way forward that allows you to get the money you are owed as quickly as possible while minimising the risk of the other party simply refusing to pay, leading to the need for further action.
Alternative dispute resolution
Where there are more complex issues to resolve that cannot be unpicked through a simple negotiation, we can facilitate a number of alternative dispute resolution strategies. Options include mediation and arbitration, both of which can help the matter be resolved quickly while keeping conflict to a minimum and preserving key relationships.
Court proceedings for debt recovery
While court action is usually a last resort, we do have extensive experience with pursuing debts through the courts, so where this is required we can ensure the matter is handled effectively, giving you the best chance of a positive outcome.
Our debt recovery solicitor can submit your claim to a court, represent you in court proceedings and apply for a County Court Judgement (CCJ) and relevant enforcement actions where required to make sure the debt is recovered.
If matters reach this stage, we aim to keep things as simple and stress-free as possible for you, with our team doing all the hard work on your behalf.
