Debt Collection

Debt Collection Overview

In civil and family matters, clients have the right to approach a court for appropriate relief when their contractual, personal, or family rights are infringed. The firm assists with general civil disputes and matters in the Family and Maintenance Courts, often using court‑annexed mediation to reach practical, cost‑effective solutions.

Key services:

  • Pre‑legal collections: demand letters, negotiating payment arrangements or settlements.
  • Issuing summons in Magistrates’ or High Courts, obtaining default judgment, and enforcing judgment through warrants, garnishee orders, or attachment of property.
  • Assisting with rescission of judgment where there are lawful grounds (for example, no proper service of summons).​

 

Common examples:

  • Collecting overdue trade accounts for a small business from defaulting customers.
  • Enforcing a personal loan agreement through judgment and subsequent attachment of assets.
  • Applying to rescind a default judgment obtained against a consumer who was never correctly served.
