Contested Claims

We deal with contested debt recovery claims however in view of the level of work involved we are usually unable to deal with these claims on a fixed fee basis.

A debt recovery claim becomes contested or disputed when any of the following events occur:

• The debtor makes contact with us to dispute the debt.

• The debtor raises substantial enquiries which are not resolved easily through negotiations (we will advise you at this point if this is the case).

• Solicitors are instructed on behalf of the debtor to correspond with us.

• The debtor files either a defence or any application in court proceedings.

• The court lists a hearing which we are required to attend, or instruct an agent to attend.

Please note, this list is not exhaustive.

Should a claim become contested, the case will be dealt with by the appropriate member of the Commercial Litigation Department. The claim will be charged at an hourly rate of between £105.00* and £225.00 per hour depending on the value and complexity. We will advise you as soon as possible as to the likely costs of your case, whether these costs are recoverable from your opponent and the viability of proceeding further so that you may make an informed decision.
