What is Debt Recovery?

Debt recovery is the legal process used by creditors to recover money owed to them by a debtor. This process can involve several stages, from informal communication and negotiations to formal legal action, such as court proceedings.

Debt recovery is necessary when a debtor fails to meet their financial obligations, and can be initiated for a range of debts, including:

• Unpaid invoices

• Overdue loans

• Outstanding bills

• Breach of contract claims

• Personal or business debt

Whether the debt is large or small, we can assist you in recovering what you're owed in a cost-effective and timely manner.

How We Can Help

At Alpine Legal, our debt recovery services are comprehensive and tailored to your specific needs. We can assist with:

• Sending Demand Letters: The first step in debt recovery is often sending a formal demand letter to the debtor, requesting payment. We can draft and send professional demand letters to encourage prompt payment without the need for legal action.

• Negotiating Payment Plans: In some cases, the debtor may be unable to pay the full amount upfront. We can assist in negotiating a suitable payment plan that works for both parties.

• Legal Action and Court Proceedings: If the debtor fails to pay, we can guide you through the process of taking legal action. This may involve issuing court proceedings, obtaining a judgment, and enforcing that judgment through garnishment or property seizure.

• Debt Recovery for Businesses: For businesses, we offer services to manage ongoing debt recovery, ensuring your cash flow is not disrupted by unpaid debts. We can also provide advice on how to minimise the risk of bad debts in the future.

• Enforcing Judgments: Once a court judgment is obtained, we can assist in enforcing the judgment, which may include garnishing wages, freezing bank accounts, or seizing property.

• Debt Recovery Mediation: Sometimes, disputes can be resolved through mediation, without the need for litigation. We can assist in negotiating settlements that are fair and protect your interests.

Why Debt Recovery Matters

Debt recovery is critical to maintaining your financial health, whether you’re an individual or a business. If debts are left unresolved, they can negatively impact your cash flow, credit rating, and overall financial stability. Proper debt recovery ensures that you:

• Recover the money owed to you

• Protect your business or personal finances from bad debts

• Prevent future disputes and maintain positive business relationships
