Our Debt Collection Package

Successful debt collection has a crucial role in ensuring business survival. When businesses have aged debts they need to collect them quickly, efficiently and cost effectively.

Woodfines offers a tailor-made commercial debt recovery service. Where your invoices are uncontested we offer a scale of fees based on the following stages:

• For a fixed fee of £40 plus VAT, we will prepare a letter before action demanding payment.
• Preparation of proceedings on a fixed fee basis according to the value of the debt.
• Obtaining judgment where the debtor fails to respond to the claim or file a defence.
