Letter Before Action
Before resorting to formal legal procedures to recover debt, a Letter Before Action (LBA) formally requests payment and warns of an impending court claim in the case of non-payment. An LBA should outline the amount owed to your business (plus interest and Late Payment Compensation, if relevant), as well as the date that they should have paid the amount due. It should also threaten legal proceedings in the County Court and/or the issuing of a winding up petition should they fail to pay following the LBA. In most cases, an LBA is an effective means of extracting payment without having to proceed to court. Instead of wasting your time chasing payments and following up on debtors, leave your debt recovery to our specialist team. We’ll draft your LBA, send it out to relevant parties, and follow up on the payments owed to you.
County Court Judgement
If a debtor fails to pay following the issue of an LBA, you will need to seek a County Court Judgement that orders them to pay the money owed to you. Alternatively, the presentation of a winding up petition may be a more effective tool to obtain payment of the sums due to you. Whichever option is taken, our dedicated debt recovery team will guide you through the entire legal process, including court proceedings, mediation, , negotiation and advocacy. We work to ensure minimal stress and disruption for you and your business, representing your best interests at every stage of the process.
