Costs of Fixed Fee Corporate Debt Recovery

We want you to fully understand the costs associated with your debt recovery.

In this section you can find out how much you will need to pay, and how much of that you should be able to reclaim. For clarity, the information on costs is divided into four areas:

Fixed Fees - Our simple fixed fee debt recovery service means you know exactly how much you will be charged for each service.

Court Fees - There are additional court fees for starting your claim, and enforcing your claim, but we will not incur these without your permission.

Recovering your costs - You are entitled to reclaim a proportion of the costs you pay us.

Additional costs - The court has wide discretion over the recovery of additional costs, but we will advise you on a case-by-case basis.

Debt Recovery Enforcement

After Judgment is obtained, if payment is not received, we will advise you about enforcement which may include:-

  1. Applying for an examination of means of the debtor
  2. Obtaining an Attachment of Earnings Order
  3. Obtaining a Third Party Debt Order (i.e. money owed to the debtor by someone else which may include his Bank Account)
  4. Obtaining a Charging Order against the debtor’s assets including his home.
  5. If appropriate we will advise you about serving a Statutory Demand for individual bankruptcy or the procedure for the winding-up of a company (details will be provided on request).
Case Studies

To help in giving you a better understanding of how the debt recovery process works, we have detailed two case studies outlining potential scenarios. These will show you a clear breakdown of how the debt recovery claim costs are calculated, and the potential money that could be reclaimed from your bad debt. The Pengillys Midas Corporate Debt Recovery service encompasses many different processes and areas. At Pengillys we can deal with everything from the initial debt recovery process, including sending a Letter of Claim right through to court representation for defended actions, and enforcing recovery of your bad debt.
