Leading Debt Recovery Team

Debt recovery involves pursuing outstanding payments from individuals or businesses — a vital part of maintaining financial stability and healthy cash flow. We prioritise ethical and lawful practices throughout the process, ensuring that all recovery efforts are conducted professionally and respectfully. Our team is committed to achieving effective results while upholding the highest standards of integrity

Our Approach to Debt Recovery

Our approach to debt recovery is designed to be thorough and effective, prioritising amicable solutions while being prepared for litigation when necessary:

Initial Consultation

We start with a detailed assessment of the debtor’s financial position, allowing us to craft a targeted and realistic recovery strategy.


Letter of Demand

A formal Letter of Demand is then issued to the debtor, initiating negotiations. Our lawyers aim to resolve disputes without court involvement by securing favourable settlements through skilled negotiation.


Litigation

If settlement efforts fail, we proceed with legal action — filing claims and representing clients in court. Our civil litigation team is experienced in asserting clients’ rights effectively and persuasively.


Post-Judgment Enforcement

After obtaining a judgment, we take decisive steps to enforce it — including garnishee proceedings, asset seizure, or liens — to maximise recovery through all available legal means.

Frequently Asked Questions about Debt Recovery

What are the legal options for recovering unpaid debts?

Legal avenues for debt recovery typically include issuing a Letter of Demand (LOD), negotiating directly with the debtor, initiating claims in small claims or civil courts (depending on the amount and complexity), or taking enforcement actions post-judgment. The most suitable approach depends on the specifics of the case.


What is a Letter of Demand (LOD), and how does it help?

An LOD is a formal written notice to the debtor requesting payment within a specific timeframe. It clearly sets out the details of the debt and the consequences of non-payment. As a first step, it often prompts settlement and strengthens your legal position if the matter proceeds to court.


How long does the debt recovery process take?

The timeline depends on the method used and case complexity:

  • Letter of Demand: Response expected in 7–14 days
  • Small Claims: Resolution in 1–3 months
  • Litigation: 6–12 months or longer for complex cases

We aim to resolve matters as efficiently as possible, keeping you informed throughout the process.


What if the debtor refuses to pay after a court judgment?

In such cases, enforcement actions may be taken, such as:

  • Writ of Seizure and Sale: Seizing and selling the debtor's assets
  • Garnishee Order: Freezing and accessing the debtor's bank accounts
  • Winding-Up Petition: For corporate debtors, initiating company liquidation

Our team is experienced in executing these measures to help recover what you're owed.


Is there a time limit for taking legal action to recover debts?

Yes. Generally, you must file a debt claim within 6 years from the date the debt became due. Acting promptly is essential to preserve your legal rights.


Can I recover debts from overseas debtors?

Yes, though international debt recovery often involves additional complexity. Legal action may need to be taken in the debtor’s jurisdiction or through treaties and international enforcement mechanisms. Our team is equipped to handle cross-border cases and navigate varying legal systems to protect your interests.
