Debt Recovery

Brodies specialises in recovery of both commercial and consumer debts on behalf of a wide range of clients.

State-of-the-art case management software allows undefended proceedings to be progressed quickly and efficiently from the stage of demand letters through to court action and enforcement. Instructions can be given electronically and reporting tailored to individual clients' needs is available whenever required.

We can take protective measures (known as diligence on the dependence or 'interim diligence') at the outset of proceedings if you fear your debtor is about to become insolvent.

Fees are generally fixed for each step, enabling you to keep track of costs. With commercial debt we will seek to recover statutory compensation and interest for late payment on your behalf.

We have particular expertise in the use of insolvency procedures to recover sums owing - statutory demands against individuals and companies, abbreviated demands and bankruptcy and liquidation petitions. We are able to instruct recovery through agents in foreign jurisdictions.

Our services include:

Seven-day demand letters
Statutory demands against individuals and companies
Abbreviated demands against companies
Court actions for payment, UK wide
Handling contested litigation
Bankruptcy and liquidation petitions
Instructing recovery in foreign jurisdictions
Drafting and revising terms and conditions of contract
Advising in relation to retention of title issues

For your convenience in providing our Debt Recovery Team with instructions, attached is an instruction form which can be e-mailed, faxed or posted to us, hopefully making your job that little bit easier.

Hence Professional Account Recovery or "PAR" came in to being. Please click on the links below for further details:
