Understanding Debt Recovery Law in the UK
Debt recovery in the UK is governed by various regulations, including:
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Regulations – Applicable to firms recovering consumer debts, ensuring fair treatment of debtors.
The Consumer Credit Act 1974 – Sets out statutory requirements for regulated credit agreements.
The Insolvency Act 1986 – Covers insolvency procedures that may be used to recover unpaid debts.
The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 – Allows businesses to claim statutory interest and compensation for late payments.
Compliance with these regulations is crucial to avoid legal challenges while pursuing commercial debt recovery. Our specialists at Adam Benedict ensure your business takes the most effective and lawful approach to recovering outstanding debts.
How We Can Help You
We offer a comprehensive range of debt recovery solutions tailored to your business needs.
Pre-Legal Debt Recovery Strategy
Before taking formal legal action, we assist clients in assessing the best course of action to recover debt efficiently. This includes:
Sending Letters Before Action (LBA) to debtors, demanding payment within a specified timeframe.
Negotiating repayment plans to secure amicable resolutions.
Evaluating potential risks and advising on the most suitable recovery method.
Legal Debt Recovery Action
If pre-legal recovery efforts are unsuccessful, we initiate commercial debt recovery proceedings, which may involve:
County Court Claims (CCJ Applications) – Obtaining a court order compelling payment from the debtor.
Enforcement Actions – Using bailiffs or High Court enforcement officers to seize assets.
Statutory Demands – A formal request for payment, leading to potential insolvency proceedings.
Insolvency & Bankruptcy Proceedings
In cases where debtors are unable or unwilling to pay, we assess whether insolvency action is appropriate, including:
Winding-Up Petitions – Forcing a company into liquidation if debts remain unpaid.
Bankruptcy Petitions – Pursuing individual debtors through bankruptcy proceedings.
Taking decisive action can often lead to successful business debt collection while encouraging debtors to settle before formal proceedings progress.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for Debt Recovery
Where possible, we explore non-court solutions to resolve disputes efficiently. This includes:
Mediation – Facilitating negotiations to reach a mutually acceptable repayment plan.
Arbitration – A cost-effective alternative to court proceedings for contract-related debts.
Our legal team advises on the most effective dispute resolution methods to secure repayment while minimising legal costs.
