What is the Debt Recovery Process?
When you need to recover the outstanding money owed to you there will be four main stages to the legal process to recover the debt which include:
- Letter before action
- Entering Dispute resolution process or issuing a Claim Form
- Obtaining Settlement Agreement
- Court Hearing
- County Court Judgement (CCJ)
- Enforcement Action
In our experience, in the majority of cases, we normally find that a debt recovery letter before action will be sufficient to resolve the matter and recover the monies owed. However, should this not result in payment, our debt recovery lawyers will explain the next steps available to you, finding you the most appropriate solution to recover the debt.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Obtaining a settlement agreement by resolving matters amicably where possible, rather than incur the cost of court proceedings, will likely be in your best interests, so where possible we will discuss with you the route of alternative dispute resolution. Not only can resolving a debt dispute in this way saves you time and money in the long run but can be far less stressful than proceeding with court action. However, if dispute mediation is not the right course of action for you, we have the skills and experience to achieve the best outcome for our clients by obtaining county court judgements at trial.
Debt Recovery Enforcement – Collecting your Debt
Once a County Court Judgement (CCJ) has been obtained against a debtor, you will be entitled to ‘enforce’ that judgement immediately. Our debt recovery enforcement solicitors will explain the different debt collection and enforcement methods available to you and will use our experience and expertise to find you the most appropriate solution depending on your particular circumstances. The different debt enforcement methods could include options such as:
- High Court Enforcement Officers
- County Court Bailiff
- Third-Party Debt Order
- Attachment of Earnings
- Charging Order
- Information Order
- Winding Up Proceedings
- Bankruptcy Proceedings
If you have already obtained a CCJ, but are struggling to collect the debt, contact our debt recovery team today for more information on our debt enforcement services. Please call on 023 9244 8100 or make an online enquiry.
