Carter Lemon Camerons LLP deals with all types of debt recovery, except small debts (usually under £10,000). If you have delivered an invoice, or made a loan and the time for payment, or repayment, has elapsed and the claim is not disputed, we offer the following fixed fees to recover the debt for you:

Initial debt recovery letter£100
Follow up debt recovery letter£55
Further follow up debt recovery letter£55
Service of statutory demand by process server£425 plus process server’s fee of approximately £80 - £150
Issuing court claim form£500 plus court fee of 4.5% of amount claimed
Entering judgment in default if no defence is served£100

The above charges are exclusive of VAT and except by prior agreement are always payable at the commencement of the retainer.

If your debt claim is disputed we charge on a time basis although we may be willing to agree further fixed fees for the next stages of your case depending on the particular facts of your claim.

The hourly rates charged in respect of defended debt claims will depend on the complexity of the dispute, the amount being claimed and most significantly the level of qualification of the solicitor or other fee earner undertaking the work on your behalf.  We will however always agree specific hourly rates with you in advance of the work being carried out so that you know at the outset precisely how the charges will be calculated and the likely level of fees that will be incurred.

It is difficult to predict timescales for debt recovery as much depends upon each individual case and the response of the opponent.  We will discuss likely timescales with you when taking instructions.
