Often Court action is not required, a formal, courteous reminder from a solicitor is sufficient to jog their memory! We're conscious that often, our clients don't want to destroy a longstanding relationship with a debtor, so we do everything in our power to maintain the relationship for future transactions, while acting decisively and proactively to protect your interests.

Court Proceedings

If a case does procced to court action is required, the amount of the debt dictates which court will deal with the case:

Amount of debt Court

Up to £3,000 - Small Claims Court
Up to £30,000 - County Court*
Over £30,000 - High Court

(*Between £3,000 and £10,000, the case can be dealt with by the District Judges Court, which is part of the County Court.)

It’s not inevitable that the matter will proceed all the way to a court hearing - often once court documents are issued, the debtor makes payment or reaches a settlement. No matter which way it goes, we make sure that you are in control of the process - it's your case, not ours.
