🔹 Debt Recovery Services Provided by an RFL
As a Registered Foreign Lawyer (RFL), I assist clients with pre-litigation debt recovery, helping to negotiate payments, draft legally enforceable agreements, and initiate formal debt collection procedures. While certain legal actions, such as filing court proceedings or enforcing judgments, require a UK-regulated solicitor, I provide comprehensive debt recovery services that help resolve disputes without litigation whenever possible.
1️⃣ Debt Recovery Strategy & Legal Advisory
Recovering debt successfully begins with a clear strategy and legal foundation. I provide tailored advice on the best course of action based on the debtor’s financial position, the contractual terms, and legal obligations.
✔ Assessing the validity of debt claims, contract terms, and debtor obligations.
✔ Advising on the best recovery strategies, including formal demands, mediation, or legal escalation.
✔ Ensuring compliance with UK debt collection laws, GDPR, and consumer protection regulations.
✔ Assisting businesses in preventing future non-payment issues through robust contract structuring.
📌 Example:
A company is owed £80,000 from a supplier who has failed to meet payment deadlines. I conduct an initial legal assessment and recommend a structured debt recovery plan, avoiding litigation.
2️⃣ Drafting & Issuing Demand Letters ("Letter Before Action")
A formal demand letter is often the first step in prompting a debtor to pay without further legal action. A well-drafted Letter Before Action (LBA) can serve as an official warning and demonstrate serious legal intent.
✔ Drafting and sending legally compliant demand letters requesting immediate payment.
✔ Warning debtors of potential legal proceedings and statutory consequences of non-payment.
✔ Setting out clear repayment deadlines, interest charges, and settlement options.
✔ Tailoring letters based on whether the debt is commercial (B2B) or consumer-based (B2C).
📌 Example:
A freelancer is owed £12,000 from a non-paying client. I draft a formal Letter Before Action (LBA) demanding payment within 14 days, with a warning of legal escalation.
3️⃣ Debt Settlement Negotiation & Repayment Plans
Some debtors may be unable to pay immediately but willing to negotiate repayment terms. I facilitate structured debt settlement agreements that help clients recover funds without costly litigation.
✔ Engaging in direct negotiations with debtors to secure full or partial repayment.
✔ Structuring legally binding repayment plans with installment schedules.
✔ Drafting debt settlement agreements to protect creditors from future defaults.
✔ Advising on potential interest reductions or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms.
📌 Example:
A business is owed £50,000 from a struggling client. Instead of initiating court proceedings, I negotiate a structured repayment plan with monthly installments over six months.
4️⃣ Tracing Debtors & Asset Recovery Support
If a debtor disappears or avoids repayment, it may be necessary to conduct investigations to locate them and assess their financial standing.
✔ Working with debt tracing professionals to locate missing debtors and assess their ability to pay.
✔ Reviewing debtor credit histories, asset ownership, and financial records to determine enforceability.
✔ Advising on asset recovery strategies, including secured lending enforcement.
📌 Example:
A private lender is owed £200,000 by a debtor who has changed addresses. I assist in tracing their new business and financial holdings to proceed with recovery steps.
🔹 Expanding Debt Recovery Services Through a Law Firm Collaboration (Reserved Legal Services)
While I provide comprehensive debt recovery services, certain reserved legal actions require a UK-regulated solicitor or barrister. Through collaboration with a UK law firm, we offer clients full legal support in court proceedings, enforcement actions, and insolvency measures.
1️⃣ Filing County Court Claims (CCJs) for Debt Recovery (Reserved Legal Service)
✔ Issuing County Court claims against debtors who refuse to pay.
✔ Obtaining County Court Judgments (CCJs) to legally enforce payment.
✔ Representing clients in defended debt recovery cases where debtors dispute liability.
📌 Example:
A retail business is owed £25,000 by a supplier who has ignored all demands. While I handle the pre-litigation negotiations, the law firm files a County Court claim to obtain a CCJ.
2️⃣ Enforcement of Court Judgments & Debt Collection Orders (Reserved Legal Service)
✔ Applying for High Court enforcement actions, including bailiff interventions.
✔ Securing charging orders, attachment of earnings orders, and third-party debt orders.
✔ Enforcing secured debt agreements through asset seizures.
📌 Example:
A property investor wins a CCJ against a defaulting borrower but still has not received payment. The law firm secures a charging order against the debtor’s property.
3️⃣ Insolvency & Bankruptcy Proceedings Against Debtors (Reserved Legal Service)
✔ Filing statutory demands for unpaid debts over £750.
✔ Issuing winding-up petitions for corporate debtors and bankruptcy petitions for individuals.
✔ Representing creditors in insolvency litigation and financial restructuring cases.
📌 Example:
A business is owed £200,000 by a company on the brink of insolvency. The law firm initiates a winding-up petition to recover the debt before liquidation.
