Our services

We offer a comprehensive pro-active debt recovery service from the first 7 day letter to instructing the High Court Sheriff for enforcement purposes & beyond.

Our fee for the initial letter (including follow up) is £20.00 plus VAT but the first thing we will do is look at your terms and conditions to see if they really meet your needs and for this there is no charge.

If the debtor fails to pay and proceedings are issued, and the matter is undefended, we normally charge fixed costs as set by the Court dependent upon the amount owed .

We can issue proceeding in a full automated process with the Northampton Bulk Centre or in efficient local Courts. We advise on the service best for you.

Enforcement of a Judgment - options include:

  • Issue of a Warrant of Execution with County Court Bailiff (amounts less than £600.00);
  • Issue of Writ with High Court Sheriff (amounts over £600.00);
  • Attachment of Earnings (if debtor employed);
  • Third Party Debt Order (if debtor is owed money by a third party);
  • Charging Order (if debtor owns land or property);
  • Order that Debtor Attends Court for Questioning (debtor attends Court to answer questions as to means and assets);
  • Bankruptcy (amounts over £750.00); and
  • Winding Up (in case of Company).

Our costs are normally charged at fixed costs allowed by the Court, plus disbursements.

We only progress what we advise you are likely to win and as long as you win, costs recovery is not an issue. We are effective because our Commercial Recovery Department focuses entirely on debt matters. Steps are taken on the same day, we cut out avoidable delay.

We act for many local and national businesses and it will be no surprise to you that we are often chasing the same people for different suppliers. We therefore know the 'hard cases' and have experience which allows us to get more, faster.

The 'hard cases' know that certain firms stop once a debt becomes defended and so they will defend just to buy time and hope you will give up. Our seamless service gives no protection for the 'won't pay' debtors.
