Our Commercial Debt Recovery Process
There are four main steps to follow when collecting a commercial debt, at Ashwood Solicitors, we have detailed it below to enable you to further understand the process.
- Step one is to send a Letter Before Action (LBA) to the debtor, according to a study 75% of cases end in settlement. However, if the matter is not settled and payment is not received, we then move to step two.
- The next step means issuing court proceedings to the debtor.
- The third step is where we obtain a County Court Judgement (CCJ) on the debtor.
- The fourth stage is the start of enforcement action; this could be insolvency or bankruptcy action against the debtor.
Our Commercial Debt Recovery Process
For unsecured debts, you have a time limit of 6 years from the date the debt started and then from when it was last acknowledged by the debtor, to start a legal claim. If it is a secured debt, you have 12 years from the date of the debtor last acknowledgement of the debt. If this time has run out, you may be unable to recover the debt unless you can get permission from the court to pursue it.
