Pre-Court Action
Leading our clients through the complexities of pre-court debt recovery, we begin with a legally compliant Letter of Claim, promoting early dialogue and resolution. Our process is meticulous, from issuing Notices of Intent aligned with English law to conducting decisive site visits for direct debtor engagement. In cases where negotiations falter, we advance to issuing statutory demands, a precursor to more serious legal actions. Our expertly tailored approach ensures clarity, transparency, and efficiency, striving for resolution without court intervention.
Legal Commencement: Letter of Claim
Our debt recovery journey begins with the issuance of a Letter of Claim, adhering to the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims effective since October 2017. This letter, a cornerstone of our transparent approach, not only details the debt owed but also opens the door for early dialogue, setting the stage for amicable resolution. It includes a financial statement form, fostering clarity and encouraging the debtor to present their repayment strategy.
Compliant Notices: Intent and Protocol Adherence
We meticulously prepare the Notice of Intent, ensuring it aligns with the Pre-Action Protocols. This step is critical in pre-court proceedings and is navigated with expert legal advice to prevent any potential legal pitfalls. Our goal is to manage this stage efficiently, laying a solid foundation for case strength.
Engaging Debtor Relations: Site Visits
Conducting site visits are pivotal, especially when faced with unresponsive debtors. These visits enable us to engage directly, understand the debtor's stance, and assess the situation. It's a strategy that not only demonstrates due diligence but also reinforces the credibility of the impending actions.
Final Measures: Statutory Demands and Actions
In cases where debtors fail to display a willingness to engage or resolve the debt, we escalate to statutory demands. This step signifies the severity of the situation, underpinning the urgency for settlement. It’s a critical move before initiating winding-up petitions or bankruptcy proceedings, often prompting immediate action from the debtor.
