Andrew Veitch (a solicitor in the West End of London W1) is willing to discuss (on an initial assessment basis) the options available to you to recover a debt from an individual, partnership or company.
ENFORCEMENT OF COURT ORDER - DEBT RECOVERY
If you are owed a debt by an individual, partnership or company you may issue a claim at court to try and recover the debt. If your claim is successful and you obtain a court order indicating the debt is payable to you there are then several ways to try and enforce payment of the debt if the defendant then fails to pay the judgment debt owed to you, which are explained in brief below:-
1. A warrant of execution. You can apply for a court order against the debtor's goods which can then be seized.
2. A charging order - You can apply to the court in order to register a charge against any property owned by a debtor and thereafter apply for the court to order that the property is sold and the debt discharged from the net proceeds of sale
3. An attachment of earnings order. You can apply to the court for an order that the debtor's employer makes deductions from his earnings/pay to discharge the debt owed to you.
4. A Third Party Debt Order (garnishee order). This is where where a third party is ordered to pay to the creditor a debt he owes to the debtor.
5. If you are owed more than £750 you can issue a bankruptcy petition against an individual or partnership. If it is a company that owes you more than £750 you can issue what is called a winding up petition against a company. Indeed if the debt is undisputed you can immediately proceed to taking steps to issuing a bankruptcy petition or winding up petition without the need to obtain a court order (although in the case of a bankruptcy petition you need to personally serve a statutory demand on the debtor before issuing a bankruptcy petition.)
If you wish to obtain advice on issuing a claim to recover a debt owed to you or to try and enforce payment of a debt please do not hesitate to contact Andrew Veitch for more advice:
