Dispute Resolution

Late payment of invoices and unrecovered debts are major problems for most businesses, which can lead to significant cash flow and profitability issues which if left unresolved can threaten the survival and/or growth of your business.

We offer a streamlined service and a fixed fee package for the recovery of your debts where your claim is in relation to an unpaid invoice providing that the invoice is not disputed. If the invoice is disputed of course we can still help and estimate fees on a case-by-case basis.

Step One:
The first stage in attempting to recover your debt is to send the debtor a letter of claim. Our fee for reviewing up to 20 pages of documents and producing a letter of claim on your behalf is only £100 plus VAT.

Step Two:
The debtor’s response - realistically, the debtor has 3 options at this stage:

1. To pay in full – success!
2. To dispute the debt – we will assess the points of dispute and discuss with you further options to progress.

3. To ignore the letter - If they ignore us then we move to step three.

Step Three:
Court proceedings – If payment has not been received then the next step would be to pursue a court claim against your debtor. We will advise you prior to issuing a claim about your chances, any concerns or issues with the evidence, and you can then make an informed decision whether to pursue your claim through the courts.

Step Four:

Debtor’s response to the court proceedings

1. To pay in full – success!
2. To dispute the debt – we will assess the points of dispute and discuss with you further options to progress.

3. To ignore the letter - If they ignore the court proceedings then we will ask the Court to grant you judgement in default against the debtor.

Step Five:

Enforcement

Once you have the court order, if the debtor still hasn’t paid then we can advise you on various methods of enforcing the judgement against them or their assets
