Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to recover a debt?
We offer fixed-fee letters of demand and court filing services. For straightforward debts, the cost is often recovered from the debtor as part of the judgment. Call us to discuss options.
How long does debt recovery take?
An uncontested debt can be resolved in 4–8 weeks through the Magistrates Court. If the debtor contests the claim, it will take longer. A well-drafted letter of demand resolves many debts without court action.
What if the debtor has no money?
We advise on enforcement options including garnishee orders, warrants of seizure and sale, and bankruptcy proceedings. We also advise when a debt may not be economically worth pursuing.
