Understanding Debt Recovery: A Guide to Legal Assistance for Businesses

12 March 2025

Debt recovery can be a challenging process for businesses, particularly when clients or customers fail to pay their outstanding invoices.

We offer expert legal services to help businesses recover these debts quickly and efficiently, tailored to your specific needs.

Why Early Involvement is Key

The earlier you involve a debt recovery solicitor, the higher the chances of recovering the money owed. We strongly recommend engaging their services early to increase the likelihood of prompt and complete recovery. Whether you’re just starting the recovery process or need help enforcing a County Court Judgment (CCJ), they are ready to assist.

Debt Recovery Process: From Pre-Issue to Enforcement

Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors work alongside businesses to ensure smooth debt recovery. Our services cover several stages, including:

• Pre-Issue: If a debt is disputed or unresolved, getting legal advice early can help you decide the best course of action, whether that's continuing with the claim, reaching a settlement, or discontinuing it entirely.
• Enforcement of County Court Judgment (CCJ): If you already have a CCJ but the debt remains unpaid, there are various enforcement options available, such as:
• • County Court Bailiff: To collect the debt through a court-appointed officer.
  • Third-Party Debt Orders: To recover money directly from the debtor’s bank accounts.
  • Attachment of Earnings Order: If the debtor is employed, this allows for payments to be deducted directly from their wages.
  • Charging Orders: Placing a charge on property owned by the debtor.
  • High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEO): For debts over £600.
  • Bankruptcy or Winding-Up Orders: Legal actions that can result in the debtor’s bankruptcy or a company’s liquidation.
