Steps Before Litigation

Can’t get through to your debtor?

Are you considering litigation?

Before going to court, try to enter a written repayment plan with the debtor, allowing them to pay off the agreed balance in installments.

In general, it’s good practice to keep good notes and records of your communication with the debtor. These notes are helpful if you do go to court.

When to Consider Legal Action

Are your debtors refusing to pay?

Before you threaten litigation, make sure you’ve laid a solid foundation. Although you can sue over any debt that’s owed to you, good collection practices improve your chances of winning and collecting the entire amount of your claim.

Make sure you have done the following first:

Formally Demand Payment – When the account becomes delinquent, issue a demand letter within the first 30 days. Follow up with the debtor, both in writing and verbally, reminding them to pay.

Work to Resolve Disputes – While following up on unpaid debt, identify any disputes from the debtor. Although not all disputes can be resolved, when appropriate, those disputes should be resolved or settled.
