Simple debt recovery

There are a number of reasons why people don’t pay their debts:

• they don’t have the money
• they prefer to use their money elsewhere and to effectively use the creditor as their bank
• there is a dispute over whether or not the money is owing or the amount
• they are pathological debt avoiders

If there is no genuine dispute about the amount owing then Townsends Lawyers can offer a fixed fee debt recovery service including:

• taking your instructions
• sending letter of demand to the debtor
• attempting alternative dispute resolution of the issue
• drafting Local Court or District Court Proceedings
• obtaining default judgment
• enforcing the default judgment

If the litigation looks like it will run off the rails for any reason, and therefore the fixed fee service becomes inappropriate, we will tell you straight away and you can decide the course of action you then want to take.
