Highlights


Successful recovery of over £13,000 in school fees, including costs and interest. The recovery came after securing a charge over the deceased customer's interest in a property which was due to be sold imminently; our swift action secured our client's debt.


In respect of an unpaid invoice for solicitor's fees the debtor wanted to avoid a Judgment. Our client wanted security for payment. We negotiated a voluntary charge against the debtor's property and an interim payment arrangement. Upon completion of sale our client received payment in full.


We were instructed to pursue a national company in respect of damage to our client's apparatus. The debtor company had the means to pay but making contact with the appropriate individuals within the business proved difficult. We reviewed the business structure, approached the debtor company for payment and the debt was paid.
