These costs apply where your claim is in relation to an unpaid invoice which is not disputed 


Anyone wishing to proceed with a claim should note that:


  • The VAT element of our fee cannot be reclaimed from your debtor.
  • Interest and compensation may take the debt into a higher banding, with a higher cost.
  • The costs quoted above are not for matters where enforcement action, such as the bailiff, is needed to collect your debt.


The costs cover the drafting and issuing of the claim, including calculation of interest and late fees (if applicable) and accounting to you. 

  • Where no acknowledgement of Service or Defence is received there is a further charge of £30.00 plus VAT for applying to the court to enter judgement in default
  • When Judgement in default in received, the £30.00 plus VAT charge covers the cost of writing to the other side to request payment
  • If payment is not received within 7 days, the £30.00 plus VAT charge also covers the cost of providing you with advice on next steps and likely costs.


Matters usually take 1 to 4 weeks from receipt of instructions from you to receipt of payment from the other side should the debtor pay at the letter stage. If it is necessary to issue a claim then it could take between a further 2 and 6 weeks to receive payment. This is on the basis that the other side pays promptly on receipt of judgement in default. If enforcement action is needed, the matter will take longer to resolve. 


Letter before action £25.00 plus VAT


These costs apply where your claim is in relation to an unpaid invoice which is not disputed, where the debtor is based in England or Wales and is not a type of claim that requires a formal pre-action protocol letter drafting. The costs covers taking your instructions, sending a letter of claim and accounting to you in the event of payment.


Three day demand threatening winding up £50.00 plus VAT


These costs apply where your claim is in relation to an unpaid invoice which is not disputed, where the debtor is a limited company based in England or Wales and is not a type of claim that requires a formal pre-action protocol letter drafting.
