Do you know your Debtor?

In the first article in a new debt recovery series from Else Solicitors, Laura Charles looks at the importance of Knowing your Debtor. 

Things to consider before starting a claim – Part 1 Name

Before commencing Court Proceedings, there are certain things to consider as even getting the basic information wrong can cause delays and further costs to you down the line. 

So, in this series of “Do you know your Debtor” – Part 1 is dealing with the name.

The Power of an Attorney

speak to a lot of people about Lasting Powers of Attorney and one response I often hear is that people think they are too young to put Powers of Attorney in place – there is a perception that Powers of Attorney are only for the very elderly, or that if you are married, your spouse will be able to deal with everything for you.

Digital Assets and Social Media

More than one billion people are active on Facebook with younger people being more likely to have several different social media accounts. Social media is a part of our lives and many of us spend hours uploading photos and chatting with friends and family. Without instructions your family will not know how you would like these accounts to be dealt with should the worst happen, and they could have problems accessing your accounts and personal photos. This could mean that precious family photos and memories end up being lost. 

Trainee Blogs

``I used Else Solicitors recently to do my probate work, having had excellent service previously on some house sale matters. Kathryn Caple, their head of probate was exceptionally efficient and knowledgeable. I had total confidence in the expertise I was being provided and the work was completed in a very timely manner. Feedback was continuous and I was totally satisfied by the outcome``

Russell Jeans Probate Client

``We are very pleased with the service Else Solicitors provided for us. We had retentions that were overdue (circa £40K), the Main Contractor had missed the payment date on their Payment Certificate, when chased we were told that they couldn’t pay for another couple of months due to cashflow, we had been in similar situations before, having been given payment plans that weren’t met, and then companies go into liquidation.

I looked on the Internet and filled in Else Solicitors web enquiry form, A member of the team called me back and talked through the various options, which I took away to discuss internally with my business partner. We agreed the plan of action which Else's team executed swiftly and efficiently, dealing with all correspondence received from the Main Contractors Solicitors, our monies were received in our bank within 2 weeks.

Can’t recommend Else enough!``

``A massive thank you to Laura and the rest of the team at Else solicitors.
We had some issues retrieving monies owed from a previous contractor for the past 2 years, and the team really did go above and beyond.
From our point of view, it was money very well spent as within 2 weeks full payment was made by the contractor who previously had a very stern view of not paying.
Laura and her team battled many emails with the contractors solicitors, all of which was included in the price.
A massive thank you once again! Would highly recommend!``

Client

``I would like to extend my thanks to Chris and the team at Else Solicitors for their support and guidance over my recent purchase of Ethical Property Partners England and Wales.
Chris and his team, specifically David Williams, have been professional and supportive throughout and where needed have been prompt in their responses, often at late notice.
I was really pleased with their approach to helping myself and my Business Partner Paulene navigate the pages and pages of contracts and break them down into plain English where needed!
I'm looking forward to them being able to help with the next step of sorting our Shareholder agreements!``

Amanda Jarvis-Doyle Ethical Property Partners (Property Consultant)

``We provide international shipping services to customers and following the non-payment of an invoice, we instructed Else Solicitors to seek recovery of this.

Proceedings were issued and the case proceeded to a final hearing. We cannot thank the team enough for the work put into this case as the final judgment was in our favour and we recovered the debt in full, plus a portion of our legal costs.

The Team, specifically Chris Clark, explained each step of the process to ensure our understanding of the case and provided updates at every opportunity. We were very pleased with the final result and the support received on the run up to the hearing.

We would not hesitate to use their services again.``

Ian Hardie – Sales Director at Smart Directions Limited.

Laura and the team have become an excellent asset to our finance department over the last year. They have helped us recover debts in full from 2 particularly difficult payers that we had no hope of recovering ourselves! They make the process simple and easy to follow, and always have a quick, helpful reply when we need something clarified. I would recommend Else Law to anyone who needs additional help with pursuing uncooperative customers because so far they have a 100% success rate with us!
