Debt Recovery

RJS offers cost-effective debt recovery with fixed fees for uncontested debts under £10,000, and tailored pricing for larger or disputed claims.

RJS provides a specialist debt recovery service designed to support businesses in recovering unpaid debts in a clear, efficient and cost effective way. For uncontested debts below £10,000, we offer a simple fixed fee structure that provides transparency and value for money, allowing clients to pursue recovery with confidence. Where a debt is disputed or exceeds £10,000, we apply tailored fee arrangements to reflect the complexity and scale of the matter.

Our litigation team, led by Simon Gilbert and supported by Elliott Hodge and Anna Mottram, has extensive experience across all aspects of debt recovery and enforcement, enabling us to guide clients through each stage of the process. We advise on the merits of pursuing a claim, the likelihood of recovery, and the most appropriate route to resolution, including informal negotiation, mediation, court proceedings and enforcement action.

Once judgment has been obtained, we assist with selecting and implementing the most effective enforcement options, including the instruction of specialist debt recovery agents, to maximise the prospect of successful recovery.

We guide you through each stage of the debt recovery process with clear, practical advice, helping you assess your options, minimise risk, and pursue the most effective route to recovering what you are owed.
