Debt Collection

Recover what you are owed.

Many debts are paid once a letter of demand arrives from an attorney. When they are not, we take the matter further: summons, judgment and, where necessary, execution against the debtor's assets.

We keep the process within the law, communicate professionally with debtors and report back to you so you always know where your matters stand.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

General information only, not legal advice on your specific matter. For advice on your situation, speak to one of our directors.

How long do I have to collect a debt?+
Most ordinary debts prescribe after three years, counted from when the debt became due. Prescription can be interrupted, for example by an acknowledgement of debt or the service of a summons. Do not let old debts sit.
What happens after a letter of demand?+
The debtor is given a deadline to pay or make an arrangement. If they ignore it, we can issue summons. Many debts are settled at the demand stage.
What if the debtor has no money?+
We can investigate the debtor's position before you spend on litigation. If they have assets or an income, a judgment can be enforced against them. If they have none, we will tell you honestly whether further steps make sense.
Are there special rules for credit agreements?+
Yes. For debts under credit agreements covered by the National Credit Act, specific notices must be given to the consumer before legal action. Skipping them can delay or derail the claim.
