Step 1 – ‘The Solicitor’s letter’

Under our ‘No Recovery, No Fee’ service we write a formal ‘letter before action/notice of court proceedings’ to the debtor asking for the money debt or outstanding rent to be paid within a time frame specified by you – this is typically 14 days. All we need from you is details of the debt and if you have a written agreement or an invoice we will need a copy of that, or any other relevant documents.

We tailor our debt recovery correspondence to your needs. For instance, our letter can be as demanding or as conciliatory as you need; your instructions may be to preserve the business or individual relationship with the debtor whilst remaining firm in the tone of the correspondence.

If the debt is paid within the period specified we will charge a very competitive small fixed fee (from as little as £10 plus vat) for the letter which has been pre agreed with you.

If you get no response within the time frame we will make no charge and we will advise you of the next stage – court proceedings.
