How We Can Help
We understand the impact unpaid invoices can have on cash flow and business operations. Our commercial debt recovery solicitors take a practical and cost-effective approach, aiming to recover what you are owed as quickly as possible while preserving commercial relationships wherever appropriate.
Low Fixed Fee Letter of Demand
Our debt recovery process often begins with a professionally drafted Letter of Demand sent for a low fixed fee. This clearly sets out the debt owed and requests payment within a specified timeframe. We also follow up with a telephone call to the debtor to open the lines of communication and encourage an early resolution.
Letter of Claim
Where payment is not received, we can issue a formal Letter of Claim in accordance with the relevant pre-action protocols. This demonstrates that you are serious about recovering the debt and often prompts payment before court proceedings become necessary.
Statutory Demands
For a clear, undisputed and overdue debt, a statutory demand may be an effective way of encouraging a customer or client to pay.
It is a serious step and won’t be appropriate for every unpaid invoice. We can advise you whether a statutory demand is suitable for your debt and explain the risks and likely next steps.
Court Proceedings
If attempts to resolve the matter are unsuccessful, we can commence court proceedings on your behalf. We handle the process from issuing the claim through to obtaining judgment, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Enforcement Action
Obtaining judgment is only part of the process. If a debtor still fails to pay, we can advise on the most appropriate enforcement options, including High Court Enforcement Officers, charging orders, third-party debt orders and other recovery methods.
Disputed Debts
Where a debt is disputed, we provide clear and practical advice on the merits of your claim and the best strategy for recovery. We can negotiate on your behalf and represent your interests throughout the dispute resolution process.
