How long does debt recovery take?
This too depends on the amount outstanding, as well as the finances and attitude of the debtor. We will look to gain their cooperation in settling the claim quickly and amicably. This could not only benefit you, but also cost them less in the long-term. Avoiding court action could help keep costs down and save time for all parties.
If a case does go to court, it can take as much as 9-18 months to settle. If the debtor fails to pay and court action becomes necessary, we can usually give you an estimate of timescales as well as costs.
