Debt Recovery
DEBT RECOVERY SERVICES DUDLEY
If your business is owed money by customers it can be extremely difficult, confusing and awkward to try to recover teh debt and decide whether to use a debt collection agency or debt recovery solicitors. The perception is that using solicitors is more expensive, and we appreciate there can be advantages in trying other methods, but many debtors will pay without significant costs being incurred and will take the matter far more seriously if you instruct a solicitor. We approach debt recovery by :-
- Rapid assessment of whether the debtor can’t pay or won’t pay
- Is the debtor alleging a defence or counterclaiming?
- Is the position on the debt clearly documented and is it clera what legal entity to pursue
- The value of the debt. Is it below the small claims threshold of £5,000.00 ?
- Would the threat of winding up/bankruptcy be likely to result in payment ?
- The general attitude of the debtor. Is the debtor likely to simply ignore phone calls and letters from debt collection agencies ?

What does it cost?
