Debt recovery advice and guidance

We can take away the stress of dealing with the dispute yourself to help put your mind at ease, and will step up the pressure on your debtor where it may be difficult or inappropriate for you to do so yourself. We can also provide valuable legal advice on where you stand in respect of the debts you dispute that you owe.

Our debt recovery solicitors offer a full-cycle service, including both the personal and commercial debt recovery process covering everything from initial letters of claim right through to the conclusion of court hearings and enforcement proceedings.

You will retain control of each step of the matter and we will not take any step which will incur a cost to you without your consent. The costs of each step are kept to a minimum and in certain cases, these costs are recoverable from the debtor as part of repaying your debt.

Debt recovery specialists

One of the most common, if not the most common examples of debt recovery are CCJ (County Court Judgments), which occurs when someone takes court action against you, usually relating to debt and money owed, and you do not respond.

These types of debts can be detrimental to your credit and differ depending on things like type of debt, creditors, the amount owed and more, usually lasting up to six years on your record.

Debt Recovery FAQs

What happens if you dispute a debt?

If you dispute a debt, the collector is required to stop all attempts and activity around the collection within approximately thirty days of contacting them, with the ability to resume collection attempts if they send verification responding to the dispute.

Can debts be written off due to mental illness?

Creditors are required to consider writing off unsecured debts with individuals who suffer from long-term mental health illnesses, particularly in situations where mental health is unlikely to improve and the debt is unlikely to be paid off in the future.

Can you go to jail for unpaid debts?

In the vast majority of circumstances and types of debt, no, however, there are a few exceptions such as council tax debt or it is proved that you have knowingly committed fraud.
