The Legal 500 guide to the legal profession (2011) describes Darren Bowen's team as, "Always helpful, friendly and professional" and notes that the debtcollector service "stands out".
debtcollector is an innovative service provided by Leathes Prior and offers a cost effective and efficient means of business debt collection.
When a debtor fails to pay, the only way to recover the debt is often through County Court action but this can be expensive.
Most claims for less than £5,000 are likely to be allocated to the Small Claims Track of the County Court (where there is no substantial dispute as to fact and there are no complex legal issues involved).
Solicitors are discouraged from assisting clients in the Small Claims Court by limiting the costs recoverable from the debtor to small fixed sums. However, most businesses are not equipped to deal with the finer details of court procedure, so all too often debts either become Bad Debts or the source of disproportionate Solicitor’s fees.
Leathes Prior’s debtcollector is a unique system which avoids these traditional problems by reducing our costs for small, undisputed debts (those under £5,000) to fixed fees – and also includes the following benefits:-
- A friendly and personal service
- Clear menu pricing
