There are three stages of debt progression, which can be implemented in order to maximise your chances of resolving any outstanding debts you may be owed.
The first step is for us to send letters to the debtor advising how much is owed and reserving the right for you to progress the debt to court if necessary. We have found that frequently, the debts are resolved at this stage and there isn’t a need to progress the matter further, however if there is no payment then you or your legal representative can chose to issue court action through the county courts. If the debtor fails to respond to the claim or the court makes an order for them to pay and the debtor still fails to pay, you or your legal representative can make an application for a County Court Judgement (CCJ).
Letters to the debtor
This allows the debtor the opportunity to discuss or pay for the debt and prevent further costs being incurred.
Most debts can be ethically resolved at this stage without the need to escalate the debt.
Court Action
Should a debt remain unpaid then the client may file a Court claim.
If the debtors decide to defend the case the client or their representative may attend Court to present the case before the Judge.
County Court Judgement
Should a claim form be ignored, or the sum ordered by Court remain unpaid then a CCJ can also be obtained by the client.
A CCJ can affect your credit score and your ability to get credit.
