Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step in recovering a debt?
We typically start with a formal demand letter, which often prompts payment without the need for court proceedings. If the debtor does not respond, we advise on the most appropriate legal action.
What if the debtor has no assets?
We can assist with asset tracing to identify assets available for enforcement. In some cases, insolvency proceedings may be appropriate.
How long does debt recovery take?
Uncontested debt recovery through the courts can take 3-6 months. Contested matters take longer. We always explore negotiated settlement as a faster alternative.
