ISSUING COURT ACTION
PROCEEDINGS
If you have sent a Letter Before Action, Late Payment Demand or a Pre Action Protocol and have not received a satisfactory response, the next stage is to issue legal proceedings through the County Court. We send the debtor a court form requiring them to pay the debt, plus interest and costs, within 14 days of being served. They can admit and pay, negotiate a settlement, or defend the claim.
​
Same-day lodging
We act quickly: instruct us before 4pm and we will lodge your county court claim form with the court the same day.
HOW MUCH WILL IT
COST
The exact cost depends on the value of the debt you are claiming, though in most cases this can be recovered from the debtor on full payment of the court action. We do not charge commission or a percentage of the debt, and there are no hidden charges.
