Pre–sue + Court Action - the Typical Route to recovering your debt
We are always on hand to discuss with you a bespoke solution to your debt recovery needs but as a rule of thumb the following route is the most common:
Step 1 – Instructing Pre-Sue Services
Get the Ball Rolling…
Generally the ‘jumping off’ point is to submit a Letter Before Action (LBA/pre-sue letter). We send a letter to your debtor asking for payment within 7 days. You’ll see from the below that you also have the option of strengthening the impact your letter will have by opting to send your debtor an email and/or text too!
| Pre Sue: Standard (£6) | Letter to your Debtor |
| Pre Sue: Plus (£8) | Letter + an email |
| Pre Sue: Extra (£12) | Letter + a Text (+ Email if email address known) |
If no payment is received after the 7 days we will come back to you and ask if you want to take this to the court action stage although there is no obligation to do so. It’s a good starting point and many clients have recovered thousands of pounds by just taking this step! Moreover, with prices starting at £6.00 + vat, with no commission on recoveries your financial exposure is minimal!
So to ‘kick-start’ your recoveries simply Instruct our Pre-sue services What have you got to lose?
