New Debt Recovery Procedure

Are you a business, or even an individual who is owed money?

Forget simple letters threatening court proceedings if payment is not received promptly.

From 1st October 2017, you need to observe the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims.  Court action will be a last resort and has to be preceded by a fairly bureaucratic procedure designed to avoid going to court altogether.  There are time limits to observe and mediation is encouraged to resolve disputes.

Compliance with the Protocol is important.  Ignore it at your peril!
