Debt Recovery

Unpaid invoices are an unfortunate feature of business life.

Where a debt is less than £5,000, even if successful in Court, you are unlikely to recover your costs. Chilcotts can offer a fixed fee service to assist you in pursuing unpaid debts, either by formal Court proceedings or by service of Statutory Demand.

If the debt is over £5,000 there are a variety of ways in which it can be recovered. If Court proceedings have commenced you may recover your costs. In many cases it is better to pursue alternative dispute resolution, as a swifter and more economic means of solving the dispute.

With the experience available at Chilcotts you will be given an early evaluation of your prospects of succeeding in your dispute. We try to do this at a stage before the bulk of your costs are incurred.
