Debt Recovery FAQs

What is a debt recovery solicitor?
A debt recovery solicitor is a lawyer who specialises in assisting clients with the process of recovering outstanding debts. Setfords’ debt recovery solicitors provide the legal advice and services you need when looking to collect unpaid debts from debtors.
When should I hire a debt recovery solicitor?
Are you facing difficulties when collecting debts owed to you or your business? If so, now might be a good time to take on the services of a commercial debt recovery solicitor. We can help you navigate the legal procedures and enforce your rights to recover the outstanding amounts owed to you.
Is it always necessary to go to court for debt recovery?
No, you won’t always need to take court action to recover your debts. Our debt recovery solicitors can employ various strategies to reach a settlement before court, such as negotiation and alternative dispute resolution methods.
However, if all of these attempts fail, initiating legal proceedings and getting a court judgement may be what you need to enforce repayment of the debt.
Are there any time limits for pursuing debt recovery?
Yes, unfortunately there are legal time limits, known as the statute of limitations. The time limit varies depending on the type of debt you’re pursuing and the jurisdiction.
It’s important to consult with a debt recovery solicitor as soon as possible to ensure that you start proceedings to recover the debt within the time limit.
Can a debt recovery solicitor assist with both personal and business debts?
Yes, our debt recovery solicitors can assist you with both personal and business debts. Whether you are an individual owed money by another person or a business looking to recover unpaid invoices or loans, an expert personal and business debt recovery solicitor can help you with the necessary legal guidance and representation.
