Debt collection and recovery is an area of particular concern in the business world. In view of the constraints in the court system, the firm has set up a debt collection unit which supplements and complements our Court action against debtors. From our experience, a sizeable number of debtors respond positively if sufficient pressure is put on them.

Whereas many companies use debt collection agencies, it has been our experience that debtors effectively respond to advocates when faced with imminent threat of litigation, insolvency and or liquidation. A demand letter from a law firm has a more reactionary and positive effect than one from a debt collection agency.

Our team of debt collectors makes every effort to trace debtors and identify their assets as well as establish their financial standing. This information ensures that “hopeless” debts are identified early on and not pursued thus saving the client legal costs that may be incurred in the court process.

Demand letters are issued in accordance with the law and the client is not exposed to any risk. Our experience reveals that the large percentage of debtors are not “hard core” defaulters but people who will pay if goaded sufficiently. Many debtors take advantage of the laxity of internal processes in many companies with regard to debt collection. Our unit therefore bridges this gap and emphasizes on persistent follow ups which ultimately makes a substantial number of debtors to yield to sustained pressure if for no other reason than to get rid of “the nuisance”.

We therefore emphasise on speed and efficiency in debt collection once in receipt of client’s instructions to prevent the propensity amongst debtors from transferring and hiding assets so as to defeat the creditor’s efforts.

Once collected, we deliver the monies to our clients within forty eight(48)hours of collection.
