Demand Letter
We can send a demand letter to your business's debtor, together with a copy of the unpaid invoice, requesting payment in full within a stated period (typically seven days).
Our fees for this service will be £15 plus VAT for each letter sent.
Issuing a claim at the County Court
If the debtor does not pay by the deadline specified in the demand letter, we will commence Court proceedings, if instructed to do so.
Obtaining judgement
Once proceedings have been issued, the debtor must either admit the debt or file a defence. If the debtor does nothing, we will obtain judgement on your behalf.
If a defence is filed, the debt recovery scheme will no longer be appropriate for this matter, and we will need to enter into a new retainer with you. A client care agreement will be sent to you detailing our standard terms of engagement.
Enforcement
If the debtor still does not pay after admission or judgement, we can provide advice on enforcing the judgement.
All work done in connection with enforcement proceedings will be charged in accordance with our standard terms of engagement.
