Debt Collection Litigation

When a debt is disputed litigation is usually essential. If successful, litigation will result in a judgement in your favour, ordering your debtor to pay your debt.

The process will consist of:

• Pre -action protocol
• The issue of a claim form including particulars of claim and evidence of claim
• Notice of Issue
  • Admission
  • Acknowledge of Service
  • Defence and Counterclaim
• Request for judgement in default if the claim is not disputed by the debtor

If the claim is defended or a counter claim has been issued, then the following documents are served on the claimant or their representative. A Notice of Transfer, Defence Filed, Allocation Questionnaire, Listing Questionnaire (Pre-Trial Checklist) and then the Hearing.

The above legal fees can be considerable. We act as your paralegals, ensuring you have the right arguments to win the case. We charge a one off administration fee to cover an insurance against the possibility of losing the case, our insurance then covers all other costs. Although litigation does not include representation in Court, it does involve
the writing up of your argument which you present in Court to argue your case against the debtor.

Our full legal costs will be added to the claim and therefore will be obtained from the debtor after judgement, if the Court awards in your favour. On a successful outcome of your case we will move your judgement forward to enforce collection of the debt against your debtor.

The legal system is a complex one with many loopholes through to which your debtor may attempt to escape its liabilities to you, our client. Having UK Debt Collect acting for you allows you to stay in control of the issue, with us advising your actions every step of the way.
