The first stage in attempting to recover your debt is to send the debtor a letter of claim. Realistically, the debtor has 3 options at this stage: To pay in full – If payment in full is simply received following the letter of claim then we will limit our fee to £50.00 (excl. VAT). To dispute the debt – If the other party raises a dispute at any point, then we will assess the points in dispute together with you and advise you on your further options. If the debt is disputed then your case will no longer fall within our undisputed debt collection fixed fee scheme and your will be provided with further costs estimates for the options available to you. To fail to respond – If the debtor fails to respond to the letter of claim at all, then the claim will be issued at Court. If there is no response after issue, then we will ask the Court to grant you Judgment in default against the debtor. If the debtor still fails to pay upon receiving a County Court Judgement (CCJ) then we will advise you upon the enforcement options available to you and the costs that entails to pursue the debtor further.

If your case was dealt with in the magistrates’ court and you do not agree with the outcome, you may have a case to appeal the decision. This can be done in a variety of ways. If you have been sentenced and think the sentence is too harsh, you may be able to challenge this sentence in the Crown Court. Likewise, if you had a trial and were convicted in the magistrates’ court, you may have a case to challenge your conviction either with an appeal in the Crown Court (which is essentially a retrial) or in the High Court (where the legal process in the magistrates’ court is challenged). Legal Aid is often available to cover our fees in these cases. There are strict time limits in place for appeals so taking advice as soon as possible is essential.
