Legal Eagles - HCEO - Owed Debt - Process

Deako:
Hi all, can anyone offer advice in chasing up a debt?

My company is owed £1120 for 3 days work wrapping busses up at Wigan Bus Depot. My business partner and I were hired for the job by the owner of a new company we had previously done some sign fitting and vinyl application work for. He had setup his own firm.

We initially invoiced him with a due date of 25th November. He replied on the 26th saying he was due to be paid invoices on the 9th Dec and we could expect payment by then or as soon as he could make payment.

I have since chased this up twice since the 9th, threatening debt recovery and interest more recently.

Can anyone advise the next best step? I understand a writ can be filed and we might need a high court enforcement officer to act for us.

Yep thats what you do. You write to them (recorded mail) and state that you are giving them 7 working days to pay the outstanding balance, and if they do not pay up then you will be taking them to court.

This may help to recover the money owed:-

Obviously write to the company in an official capacity first, giving them warning to pay and then threaten legal action using the above link.

Good luck!

Deako:
Cheers both.  :happy2:

Yes, give due warning them issue out of Money Claims Online.

Once you have a Judgment and they still have not paid, you can instruct HCE Group ( I always use, in Liverpool) and they wil then attend the premises with the court order.
