Court Action

Whilst many clients find our pre-sue service does the trick and no further action is needed, some still need to take court action to get paid.

Getting started

Experience has taught us that the quicker you start legal proceedings, the better chance you have of recovering the money owed. It is likely that your debtor will also have other creditors looking for payment too, which means it is in your interests to act quickly.

As soon as we receive your instructions, we move into action and can issue proceedings anywhere in Scotland. To ensure you recover your money as soon as possible, we draft all documentation and sent it to court within 48 hours of receiving your instructions.

Once the court has processed the papers (this usually happens within 7-14 days), we can then serve them on your debtor. If your debtor ignores the court action, we will enforce the judgment using our post-judgment remedies.

What if my debtor can't pay?

There is no point in pursuing someone who cannot pay you – nobody wants a judge to rule in their favour only to find out the debtor cannot meet their financial obligations. For your added peace of mind, we have tools in place to help you avoid this expensive mistake.
