Jennings Debt Recovery Solicitors provide proven, effective and low cost solutions to help ensure your debts are paid without the need to go to Court proceedings.
These are designed to suit you and your needs either under our low cost “Fixed Fees” or under “No Win, No Fee”.
Otherwise known as a final demand for payment, a Letter Before Action is a formal Solicitor’s letter giving your debtor a set time limit in which to pay before they are taken to Court.
The purpose of this service is to achieve quick payments of debts which are not disputed and, in a lot of cases, outstanding debts are settled on the basis of the initial letter. If payment is not achieved, this final demand has given all the necessary notice to allow us to take Court action.
This involves a letter being sent to the debtor on your behalf to encourage a low cost rapid payment. The purpose of this service is to achieve quick payments of debts which are not disputed. If payment is not received, then one of our additional services may be required but you are under no obligation to proceed further if you do not wish to.
Please Note: Letters Before Action is offered as a low cost service and we request that the debtor makes payment to you direct.
There will be instances where the debtor has acknowledged or replied to the “Letter before Action” but payment is still not forthcoming. There are occasions where there is a genuine reason but, commonly, this is simply a diversion or stalling tactic to prolong the payment. Your debtor may also be contesting the claim, something which can further delay payment.
Jennings’ out of Court options allow you to have the weight of a law firm behind you but without the weighty charges. Our in-house team of solicitors and legal experts means we can quickly and effectively scale-up to the next service levels.
For straightforward debts where there is genuine potential for settlement, Jennings will issue letters and make polite yet firm telephone calls to the debtor on your behalf plus there are other ways we can help ensure you get paid for low staged fixed fees.
Where more involvement is required on issues that have arisen or instances where letters and calls are exhausted, then we are quickly able to scale-up our actions and offer a “No Win, No Fee” approach with our charges relative to the value of the debt recovered and payable only if successful.
Used to request payment of a debt from company or individual person. This is a powerful tool when you have an undisputed debt which is over £750 owed by a company and £5,000 owed by an individual person and you would consider winding-up or bankruptcy proceedings as an option should you remain unpaid. When a company or individual person receives a Statutory Demand, they have 21 days to either settle the debt or reach a satisfactory agreement to pay the outstanding monies. If there’s no agreement, we can start the first stages of winding up / bankruptcy proceedings.
There is always the option to appoint Jennings to advise and represent you, with fees based on our hourly rates. You are not obliged to take up these services should other approaches not have proved successful but, on the other hand, you may also instruct Jennings on this basis right from the start, the same as appointing any law firm.
