Debt Recovery

Getting paid on time can make or break your business. If cash isn't flowing in, you can't grow and reach your full potential.

At Quebec Law, our expert team is here to help you with managing payments and recovering debts. Whether you're a large business with many debts or a smaller company with just a few, we take the time to understand your business and financial needs. This way, we can tailor our support to fit you best.

Our approach to debt recovery is quick, effective, and focused on your business needs. We do the heavy lifting early on to figure out what can be recovered and what it will cost, so there are no surprises later.

We know that even the best credit control teams can hit bumps in the road. If you find it hard to meet your collection targets at times, we're here to help. Think of us as an extension of your own team, stepping in when you need that extra support.

Court Proceedings

We usually file most County Court claims online, and the court generally processes them by the next working day.

Before going to court, we'll talk to you about whether the legal costs make sense for your situation. If you decide to proceed, we'll guide you through the court process step by step.

Enforcing a Judgment:

Once a judgment is in place, we'll suggest the most effective way to enforce it.

High Court Actions:

If needed, we can move the case from County Court to the High Court. A High Court enforcement officer will then try to get the payment. If that fails, they can seize goods and assets to cover the owed money.

Freezing Bank Accounts:

If you know details about the debtor's bank account, or if they're expecting a payment, we can potentially freeze those funds for your benefit.

Property Charges:

If the debtor owns property, we can secure the owed money against it. You'll get paid when the property is sold. We can even handle 'voluntary charges,' where the debtor agrees to secure the debt against their property.

Defended Claims:

For smaller claims, we'll help you with paperwork, statements, and applications. Since you can't always recover legal costs in small claims, we'll help you try to settle out of court when possible. We can also give you the tools to prepare for court yourself, and in some cases, to represent yourself at the hearing.

For Larger Debts:

If the debt is over £10,000, our Commercial Dispute Resolution team can assist you. They will provide expert legal and commercial advice and handle trial preparations if needed.
