DEBT RECOVERY

Debt Recovery: Take Control of Your Financial Future

Do growing bills overwhelm you and leave you unsure of where to turn? Recovering outstanding debt can seem intimidating, but with the correct direction you can reclaim what is owing and protect your financial future. Having more than 12 years of experience in legal services and conflict resolution, RakLAW is ready to help you at every level in debt recovery.

Four Stages of Debt Recovery

1. Letter Before Action (LBA)

It is best to send a formal Letter Before Action to the debtor before initiating any legal action. This letter serves as an official notice of the outstanding debt and often encourages settlement without further escalation. Our staff can assist you in creating a compelling financial remedies notice to initiate the recovery process.

2. Legal Action

If the debtor fails to respond satisfactorily to the Letter Before Action, the next step is to commence legal procedures by submitting a County Court claim. This involves sending the relevant court paperwork and demanding that the debtor repay the debt, along with any interest and related expenses, within a specified period. Our professionals will guide you through the legal claim process with precision and efficiency.

3. County Court Ruling (CCJ)

If the matter proceeds, obtaining a County Court Judgement confirms that the debtor has defaulted on their obligations. A CCJ not only supports your claim but also provides the legal basis for further enforcement proceedings. Our team is adept at utilising CCJs to improve your chances of a successful recovery.

4. Administration of Enforcement

Once a CCJ has been secured, enforcement actions can be initiated to recover the outstanding amount. This may involve seizing assets, obtaining deductions from income, or negotiating a structured payment plan that suits your situation. For comprehensive support during this stage, you might wish to consider our civil litigation services.

Managing Debt Collection Agencies

If your debt has been assigned to a debt collection agency, it is important to understand your rights and responsibilities. These agencies, which act on behalf of creditors, are strictly regulated and may contact you via phone, email, post, or text. Engaging productively with them can help you negotiate a reasonable repayment schedule. RakLAW can help you assess your situation, create a workable budget, and negotiate fair terms with any collection agency.
