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:
- 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 Acknowledgment of Service or Defence is received, applying to the court to enter Judgment in default
- When Judgment in default in received, write to the other side to request payment
- If payment is not received within 28 days, providing you with advice on next steps and likely costs.
The length of time for completion of matters is dependent upon the subject matter and the nature of the debt or the debtor. Matters can be settled in as little as two weeks or can take until trial, depending on whether or not it is necessary to issue a claim. This is on the basis that the other side pays promptly on receipt of Judgment in default. If enforcement action is needed, the matter will take longer to resolve.
