Our debt collection expertise
When attempting to recover debts on your behalf, the first step we’ll take is sending a pre-action letter to the debtor. Using this correspondence, we’ll confirm what is owed and which of the established payment terms have not been followed.
In many cases, receiving a pre-action letter from a solicitor encourages the debtor to pay promptly. Our lawyers can help you to collect your debts and maintain a good relationship with the individual or company as far as possible.
In some cases, the person or business may communicate that they can’t pay the debt. They may claim that they have a valid reason for not making the payment. In such cases, our lawyers will facilitate negotiation between both parties. We can support clients in resolving the situation and securing payment on appropriate terms, for example, payment via instalments.
At Rollits, our lawyers are highly skilled in debt negotiation processes. We have an excellent track record of swiftly recovering debts and helping clients to avoid instances of payment refusal.
Where issues cannot be solved via negotiation, our debt dispute lawyers can support clients using ADR methods such as mediation or arbitration. We’ve supported many businesses and individuals throughout these procedures and will always attempt to keep matters as amicable as possible.
Before your alternative dispute resolution process begins, we will ensure that you appreciate the stages involved, know your legal standing, and are prepared for potential outcomes.
Where either of these options are unsuccessful in resolving your debt dispute, our debt recovery lawyers can offer recommendations on the appropriate next steps.
Where matters are complex or conflict stricken, we may have to resort to Court action in order to recover your debts.
Our skilled debt recovery for business lawyers will submit your claim, represent you, and obtain the necessary enforcement actions. Moving through steps like these allows us to ensure that your debt is recovered in full.
We appreciate that the idea of Court processes can sound intimidating and always ensure to make the procedures as stress-free as we can. If you have any questions about Court processes for debt recovery, please contact our debt collectors in Hull.
Depending on the circumstances of the case, you may wish to begin bankruptcy proceedings against a debtor. Initially it will be necessary to serve a statutory demand. To do so, the sum of the debt must be over £5,000 and be both undisputed and liquidated.
If you are in a position where you need to may need to begin bankruptcy proceedings against a debtor, our lawyers can offer full guidance on this. We will always protect your best interests and offer personalised recommendations at each stage.
If a company owes you money and cannot pay, you have the option to apply to the Court to gain a winding up petition. If the petition is granted, the company will be ordered to close, also known as compulsory liquidation.
As part of our debt recovery service, we can support you throughout the procedure so long as the following circumstances are present:
- The company owes you a sum of £750 or more
- You can provide evidence that the company cannot pay you
Enforcement of judgments refers to Court orders used to recover debts where more informal debt recovery processes have failed. Both insolvency proceedings and winding up petitions are examples of enforcement of judgments.
Our debt recovery solicitors can also support you with enforcements of judgments such as:
- Writ of execution or warrant of execution
- Charging order on a property
- Attachment order on earnings
- Third party debt order
At Rollits, we can offer various recommendations to help protect your company from debt and cash flow issues.
For instance, our solicitors can help you in drafting retention of title clauses into your professional contracts. A retention of title clause means that the seller retains the right to the goods until they’ve received payment in full.
If you would like to learn more about retention of title, please contact our debt recovery solicitors today for a discussion of your options.
