Debt Recovery

Online Calculator

Anyone wishing to proceed with a claim should note that:

  • The VAT element of our fee cannot be reclaimed from your debtor.

  • Interest and compensation may take the debt into a higher banding, with a higher cost.

  • The costs quoted above are not for matters where enforcement action, such as the bailiff , is needed to collect your debt.

Our fee includes:

  • Taking your instruction and reviewing documentation.

  • Undertaking appropriate searches.

  • Sending a letter before action.

  • Receiving payment and sending onto you, or if the debt is not paid, drafting and issuing claim.

  • Where no Acknowledgement of Service or Defence is received, applying to the court to enter Judgement in default.

  • When Judgement in default is received, write to the other side to request payment.

  • If payment is not received, providing you advice on the next steps and likely costs.

Our fees do not include:

  • Taking enforcement action

  • Representing you in court either in person or remotely

  • Fees in relation to instructing a Barrister who may be engaged to represent you either in person or remotely

  • Work in relation to dealing with a Counterclaim made by the other party


 

These estimates cost apply where your claim is in relation to an unpaid invoice which is not disputed and enforcement action is not needed. If the other party disputes your claim at any point, we will discuss any further work required and provide you with revised advice about costs.
