FAQs ¶

Find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions below. If your question is not answered in our FAQs, please get in touch with our team by filling out the enquiry form on our contact page or calling us on 0113 245 7027.

How can I get started with debt recovery? ¶
Contact our legal team to discuss your case. We offer an initial consultation to assess your options and recommend the most effective course of action, whether through informal negotiations or legal proceedings.
What legal options are available if a debtor refuses to pay? ¶
If informal recovery efforts fail, legal action may be necessary. Options include:
- Issuing a County Court Claim for unpaid debts and then seeking a County Court Judgment (CCJ)
- Enforcing a CCJ through bailiffs or High Court Enforcement Officers, charging orders, or third-party debt orders
- Issuing a Statutory Demand, which could lead to insolvency proceedings.
- In some industries, other processes such as adjudication or arbiration are common.
Can I recover debts from a company that has gone into administration or liquidation? ¶
If a debtor company has entered administration or liquidation, debt recovery becomes more complex. We can assist in submitting a claim to the appointed administrator or liquidator and exploring options such as director liability claims if misconduct is suspected.
