Debt recovery FAQ

What is the debt recovery procedure?
The first step is to write a formal letter to the debtor requesting payment by a certain date, stating that if the payment is not made by this date, you will take legal action. We’ll take care of the letter, sending it directly from Talbots Law to reinforce the urgency to your customer.

It’s also a good idea to have evidence of their original agreement of payment – this could be a signed contract, or even a purchase order. If you can also provide evidence of the terms and conditions that they agreed to before entering into the agreement, even better. We also recommend that you find proof of the completed service or product that they received.

If we can assist in recovering debt from your customer outside of court, we will. Our team of debt recovery solicitors have a diplomatic but direct approach, allowing you and your customer to discuss the situation openly while encouraging the debtor to make the payment. We try to keep things simple – after all, we know you don’t want to be involved in a long-running legal battle. Through firm negotiation, our debt law solicitors succeed in collecting late payments for our clients, giving them one less thing to worry about.

What if my debtor refuses to pay?
If you debtor refuses to pay their bill due to a disagreement about the quality of service or product you provided, our debt recovery solicitors will encourage direct contact with the customer and actively offer suggestions that satisfy you as well as them, working together to find compromise.

If the debtor fails to cooperate and still refuses to pay, this will at least aid in strengthening your position if the case goes to court.

If your customer refuses to pay because they claim they cannot afford to, we’ll advise you based on the sum owed what we see as the best way to proceed. Compromise could still be found, or a system of repayment agreed on.
