From a payment demand to a lawsuit and enforcement — how to recover what you are owed, step by step.
The first step is usually a payment demand setting a specific deadline. Often the mere fact of receiving a letter from a law firm prompts the debtor to settle the amount due.
If that does not work, the case can be taken to court — in many situations through order-for-payment or writ proceedings, which are faster and cheaper. Once an enforceable title is obtained, a bailiff takes over the case.
It is essential to gather documentation (contracts, invoices, correspondence) and to react early enough — the limitation of claims works in the debtor's favour.
