Frequently asked questions – Debt Recovery
What is the typical process for recovering a business debt?
The process usually begins with a Letter Before Action to the debtor. If no payment is made, we can escalate to issuing court proceedings, obtaining a judgment, and enforcing that judgment through appropriate legal methods.
Is it possible to recover legal costs when pursuing a debt?
Yes, in many cases, especially if the debtor has agreed to pay legal costs via contract terms or if the court awards costs as part of a successful judgment.
How long does the debt recovery process usually take?
This depends on the complexity of the case and whether the debt is disputed. Uncontested cases can often be resolved within a matter of weeks, while contentious cases may take several months or more.
Can I recover debts from clients based abroad?
Yes, we can assist with cross-border debt recovery. We work with international partners and have experience pursuing debts in multiple jurisdictions, though the approach will vary depending on the debtor’s country.
What happens if the debtor declares bankruptcy?
If the debtor enters insolvency or bankruptcy, it may limit your ability to recover the full amount owed. We can advise you on your options and submit a creditor claim if appropriate.
Do you offer fixed fee debt recovery services?
We offer transparent pricing and, where possible, fixed fee options for certain stages of the debt recovery process, helping you manage costs effectively and avoid surprises.
