Our Debt Recovery unit is part of the Dispute Resolution team who are able to deal with any defended actions which may arise from the issuing of County Court proceedings.
We will endeavour, wherever possible, to deal with your case within the Debt Recovery team in order to minimise costs. If it is necessary to pass your claim over to the Dispute Resolution team we will discuss the costs of proceeding with the action with you in advance.
We will:
- evaluate the quality of a defence when it is filed and give you an early indication of costs you are likely to incur
- consider with you negotiating a settlement
- in Small Claims cases (less than £5,000) advise you on the necessary steps to pursue the matter through to final trial and discuss with you continuing the matter without our involvement
- consider mediation
In many cases the filing of a defence will be treated by the courts as a request for further information relating to the debt and the Debt Recovery team will deal with the request.
