As we work on a NO Success No Fee basis, it is in our best interest to collect as swiftly as possible using the most effective debt collection methods available at our disposal. We assess each and every debt submitted in detail first, with our access to vast and leading specialist and historical data and resources of company directors and individuals, before actually deciding what course of action we will take. Once we have our data, we may write, call or visit initially giving debtors an opportunity to make payment cordially or discuss the debt with us before actually taking serious and more extensive debt collection action. As each case has to be judged on its own merits, the type of debt collection action will depend on certain criteria such as the debt collection route, the amount of the debt, the profile of the debtor and the calculated feasibility of recovering costs. As we are extremely experienced, you can be assured that whatever course of debt recovery collection actions we will take for your particular debts, it will be the best possible method to collect as swiftly as possible.
Our actions can include the following:
- Investigations of the debtor for any assets
- Telephone calls and letters
- Personal visits
- Court/Litigation Proceedings and default judgements
- Subpoena ad testificandum (summons to produce documents, records, or other tangible evidence or risk contempt of court which is an imprisonable offence).
- Bailiff Services
- Oral Examinations in Court
- Warnings of and subsequent data exchange with Credit Reference Bureaus and the police when fraud is detected
- Statutory Demands towards the petitioning for a winding up order
- Garnisheeing personal and business bank accounts
- Asset seizure and freezing orders
- Charging orders on property
- Interim orders to prevent the disposal of assets even from directors other companies if they are the main shareholders
- Compulsory liquidation for persistent defaulters
- Bankruptcy for individuals or the Winding Up of limited companies
- Investigations for any illegal or criminal business activity by the debtor and exchange of data with law enforcement agencies, including police bureaus and Interpol
We can only advise you on which course of action we are going to take once we start the debt recovery process. You will need to engage our services and submit the debt first, as actual debt collection actions and procedures will primarily depend on our initial investigations, the debtor's other businesses and assets, and their willingness to cooperate with us in paying off the debt. If they attempt to avoid us and their financial and legal obligations, we will proceed accordingly. Please note, when it comes to serious fraud, there is no guarantee that the debt can be recovered. However, Harley Legal offers detective work and maintains good relationships with both the police and Interpol.
We will keep you informed of the progress once we have news, and are always available should you wish to discuss your debts throughout the debt collection process.
