Taking legal action to recover your debts
If after using pre legal services in an attempt to try and recover a business debt proves to be unsuccessful, you may consider taking legal action through the Courts. In such instances, we can review your situation and then make recommendations to you as to whether or not to take Court action.
If you decide to take Court action, then our debt recovery solicitors in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham will pursue the debt for the original amount plus any interest or compensation that you are due.
In circumstances where Court action is required, we recommend that we carry out appropriate searches to check the credit rating of your debtor before you commence Court action. Additional fees will be payable for these searches – but we will discuss them with you before they are incurred.
