Debt/Money Claims

If you someone owes you money then you may need to consider making a claim for the debt via the County Court (or more commonly known as the Small Claims Court).

Before Taking Action

It is advisable to give the debtor a chance to settle the debt before you incur costs of taking legal action.

Quite often a strongly worded letter threatening legal action may produce a settlement from the debtor. Settlement may be in the form of full payment or alternatively be in the case of a payment plan or reduced offer of payment.

It is of course very important for credibility purposes to start chasing the debt as soon as it becomes overdue. You can do this by sending a Letter Before Action (LBA).

The LBA should set out the circumstances surrounding the debt; i.e. how the debt came about; the amount owed and what action you are looking to take if the debt is unpaid. It may also be ideal at this stage to provide documentary evidence to prove how the debt came about and the amount owed. This should therefore remove any doubt.

Consider the Costs of Taking Action

Chasing and taking action against bad debt can be very time consuming, tiring and sometimes very costly especially if you do not have the right tools and knowledge available.

It may be ideal first to risk assess whether it is worth your time and money to chase the debt. You may wish to consider whether the debtor has the ability to pay and whether any legal action will result in increased costs for very little or no gain.

Even if you do take legal action and you ‘win’ your claim there is no guarantee of payment and therefore in these circumstances, you will have incurred legal costs and Court fees chasing debt for no return.

Locum Fee Earner/Litigation Support

Having over 12 years experience in civil litigation, We have been assisting solicitor firms with their busy case loads by acting as a fee earner within their firms.

Advocacy

We are able to cover hearings across the North West and North Wales (we can travel further if needed) as your agent for Infant Settlement Approval Hearings, Possession Hearings (Landlord/Tenant and Mortgage) and Costs Hearings.  We can also cover applications and enforcement hearings.
With fixed fees being applied in many cases, we understand that the lower you pay for advocacy services, the more profit costs you keep for yourself therefore, our fees are reasonable and for most of our local Courts are even cheaper than those charged by the major advocacy agencies.
