FREE GUIDE: Step by Step Guide to Debt Recovery Proceedings
Managing Debt Recovery
There are four stages to commercial or civil debt recovery:
- Letter before action
- Issue of legal proceedings
- Judgment and enforcement of Judgement
- Bankruptcy/Winding up of creditors who are unable to pay
The debt recovery process starts with a Letter Before Action, which is a stipulation of the civil procedure rules which governs legal proceedings in the UK. Many times this is all that is required to prompt the owing party to pay what is owed.
If the debt is not paid, the creditor can choose to take the case to Court Action then if necessary obtain a County Court Judgment and Enforcement when a County Court Bailiff or High Court Enforcement Officer be able to attend the debtor’s premises to recover the debt.
Our step by step pictorial guide and commentary will walk you through the key stages of commencing legal action towards the recovery of monies owed you.

Commercial Debt Recovery
Legal Proceedings
Request a Free Initial Assessment of the Debt you wish to recover. We will review the circumstances surrounding the Debt including the Parties to determine that you are in fact pursuing the correct legal entity or person, where the debtor is an international organisation, we will review to ensure that the UK is the correct jurisdiction to seek to recover the debt.
We will determine whether the matter is disputed and advise the best course of action and whether the matter is suitable for a statutory demand or winding up proceedings.
If you need assistance with the matter, we are able to take the matter through the stages of drafting an initial letter before claim, issue a claim against the Debtor or statutory demand and assisting with any negotiations required and drafting of a settlement detailing the outcome of negotiations.
In certain circumstances, we may determine that a winding up petition against the company or bankruptcy petition against an individual is the correct proceeding to follow.
