Debt Recovery
Securing money owed to you can be time consuming, frustrating and ultimately futile if your options are not clearly understood. In extreme cases, an unpaid debt can lead to the failure of the creditor’s own business.
We are experts in helping clients recover money that is owed by another business. We have a detailed understanding of the legal remedies available to you, as well as a finely tuned commercial sensibility that allows us to create workable solutions without recourse to expensive litigation. We pursue both formal and informal channels until a satisfactory outcome is reached.
In addition, we help clients set up robust terms of trade and internal systems that minimise late payments from debtors, properly secure any debts, and provide options and fast and efficient recovery. We work closely with our clients’ accounts departments to ensure our proposals can be easily adopted without disrupting BAU processes.
Speaking to us as early as possible is a smart approach. Generally, the sooner payment issues are addressed with the debtor, the sooner payment is made. Delays can result in the debtor finally running out of money before you reach them, or your options for debt recovery becoming fewer. We can help you take appropriate action that delivers desired results.
Caveats
Caveats affect many areas of the law. It is a legal instrument that can be registered on the title to property by a person or organisation. The caveat operates as a statutory injunction and prevents the registration of particular dealings and plans on a title without the caveators express consent.
