Debt recovery
Process led, proactive recovery of volume debts from
individuals or businesses, using award-winning case management
systems.
Credit control is a crucially important area
of business management. Prompt, efficient collection of debts
is essential to maintaining a healthy cash flow, and serious
financial problems can result when debtors delay or default on
payment.
Weightmans' Debt Recovery service addresses
these problems directly and provides highly cost-effective
solutions based on proven methods and skilled procedures. Our
fully trained, 40-strong team boasts an exceptional record of
successful debt recovery in all sectors of the economy.
Our systems have been specially developed to
make the process as simple and rapid as possible. As a client, all
you need to do is instruct us electronically; this allows us to
capture the data and produce a case plan immediately. Then our
pre-litigation team conducts a detailed assessment of enforcement
options and embarks on dynamic negotiations to secure payment
without the delay and expense of litigation.
Achieving early settlement means we need only
issue court proceedings in 20% of cases. These are effected via the
County Court Bulk Centre in Northampton, which ensures an expedited
service and a discount on court fees. We are expert in all forms of
enforcement, and we have had particular success with charging
orders and attachment of earnings orders.
We also have a specialised insolvency team,
who progress appropriate matters from statutory demand through to
the realisation of assets by our appointee as trustee in
bankruptcy.
Our approach is professional, efficient and
process-driven. We understand that there are different levels of
sensitivity regarding collection methods, and we respond to your
preferences and requirements at every stage.
Above all, we have a culture of constant
improvement and dedication to client satisfaction. Data capture and
prediction of percentages of debt collected are essential parts of
our service, and our client reporting system has achieved an award
for innovation.
