Debt Recovery
Tracking down your assets
Specialist business debt recovery lawyers
Bankruptcy – Issuing bankruptcy proceedings can be extremely effective in recovering undisputed debts. This involves serving the debtor a statutory demand, then issuing a bankruptcy petition if they do not respond.
Court Proceedings – If there is no response to a Letter Before Action, we can prepare and send proceedings to court within 24 hours. If there is no response, we can apply for a judgment to be entered on your behalf.
Enforcement of Judgments – We will advise on the best method for you. This could include instructing a bailiff, a charging order, a third party debt order, a statutory demand or an attachment of earnings order.
Foreign Debt Collection – We can help you track down debt in Ireland, Scotland and most of Europe.
Pre-Action Collection – On the day you instruct us, we will act fast to send a Letter Before Action that is tailored to your needs. We will also discuss what course of action is suitable if they do not respond.
Winding Up – Before we start this, we usually send a letter demanding payment or a statutory demand. If you don’t receive your debt, we can issue a winding up petition – which they will have to pay for.
