Personal Debt Recovery.

Personal Debt Recovery Solicitors.

If you run a business, making sure your customers pay their bills on time is essential to your livelihood.

So when people fail to pay their debts, it’s important to get advice from experienced personal debt and insolvency solicitors.

The DebtSolve team here at Lanyon Bowdler are well used to dealing with those customers which are difficult to get hold of, saving you time and allowing you to get on with running your business instead of chasing bad debt.

Debt Recovery from Debtsolve

If you contact Lanyon Bowdler’s DebtSolve team before 3.30pm by email, post or fax, our solicitors will demand payment from your debtors that day. This approach solves a lot of cases quickly, but we can also take your debtor to court if necessary.

The team is made up of experienced debt recovery lawyers who have the resources and skills required to ensure court proceedings are successful. We use the latest computer systems from one of the leaders in the field to provide a cost-effective and efficient court preparation service for our clients.

If your debtor files a defence, our specialist dispute resolution department will step in and your case will be handled by a lawyer experienced in dealing with disputed debts.

Our Personal Debt Expertise

Our Personal Debt Recovery Solicitors help individuals across England and Wales to ensure their financial situation is relieved from complex situations. Contact us today for qualified and experienced legal advice.

Detailed reports

Dealing with bad debt is a weight off your mind, but it’s even better to prevent it from happening in the first place. The DebtSolve team can provide a report which will help you improve your systems to minimise the risk of bad debts.

We can also file regular reports each month to keep you updated with the progress being made on any debts we are recovering for you.

Personal service

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and approachable law firm, and provide a flexible and bespoke solution for every client. The DebtSolve team judges every case on its merits and prepares a method of recovering the debt which is appropriate for you.

Cost-effective debt recovery solutions

We are keen to ensure that legal costs do not prohibit you from seeking advice and support. In some cases, we charge a percentage of money recovered so if we are unsuccessful you don’t have to pay anything unless court proceedings are issued. We can also offer a small fixed fee in certain cases.

If court proceedings need to be issued, we charge fixed fees so you know at the outset how much it will cost – and most of these fees can be passed on to the debtor.
