Debt Collection

We recover outstanding debts on behalf of our clients. We issue letters of demand and summons, obtain default judgments, issue warrants of execution against property, garnishee orders, and warrants of arrest for civil imprisonment where a debtor fails to pay.

The recovery process

  • Letter of demand — often enough on its own
  • Summons and, where the debt is not defended, default judgment
  • Warrant of execution against movable and immovable property
  • Garnishee orders attaching salaries and bank accounts
  • Warrants of arrest for civil imprisonment in appropriate cases
  • Regular reporting on recoveries and outstanding books

For institutional clients

  • Bulk book handovers with scheduled reporting
  • Advice on credit terms and security to reduce future defaults
  • Acknowledgements of debt and payment arrangements
