You are owed money and want to recover it
Debts adversely affect your cash flow, cause business uncertainty and prevent growth. Effective debt management is vital to the success of your business!
We assist businesses like yours recovering money you are owed. We can offer your business a dedicated service focussing on getting your money back in your pocket.
What is involved?
Letter before action - Before court proceedings
The first step in recovering your debt is to write a formal Letter Before Action to the debtor requesting that they make payment of the full amount owed by a certain date.
If we do not receive payment or a response to the Letter Before Action or the debtor refuses to pay, we will advise that court proceedings are necessary.
COURT PROCEEDINGS
If you wish us to continue after a Letter Before Action we will commence legal proceedings in court to recover the monies that are owed.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE WALDRONS?
We have a specialist debt recovery team dedicated to recover money owed to clients as quickly as possible.
As a client using our debt recovery service you will have direct access to your specialist solicitor with a direct phone number and email address so you can always contact us.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
You do not need to worry as our charges are based on what we collect, so if we do not recover any money, you do not pay us anything. Please see the table below outlining our fees. We are always completely clear on costs from day 1 and we will always discuss your options with you before we commence work.
