Insolvency and debt collection as the name suggests is the pursuit of debtors (those who owe you money) it is a fast growing area. Our team will guide you through the process from warning letters through to advice on the suitability of issuing legal proceedings, the pursuit of creditors through the courts process, explaining that process to you and assisting you after judgment has been obtained by way of installment orders/registration of judgment mortgages where possible. We will set out the payment structure and the likely costs for the different stages, we will ask our clients to consider carefully before they decide to issue proceedings, whether there is a realistic prospect of recovering money.
