Legal Services Providing a comprehensive legal service can prove to be a key  element when collecting overdue accounts.

Whether it is a matter of serving papers on an individual or  company or issuing a summons against a debtor we can provide a  solution.

Issuing proceedings against a debtor is often a costly and time  consuming process especially when the summons is defended. Many  people simply do not issue proceedings through the county court  because of the high costs that are often involved.

Kingston Collections will prepare the summons on your behalf when the claim is unlikely to be defended.  We will charge a flat rate fee per case of £25.00.  There would also be county court fees to pay

If you think the summons/case will be defended in court and that legal representation will be required, then once instructed, we would pass the case onto our solicitor to deal with, through the courts on your behalf.  Every case is assessed individually and we would discuss this with you.

 

There are more than one type of bailiff and they each have different powers.  Which one you use depends on what type of debt you have and in which court the judgment was awarded.

Also effective against the general public.

 

You can ask the court for an order to debit your debtors bank account. 

 

Not really a method of enforcement but it can force a debtor into court to explain why they haven't paid the judgment.  If the debtor does not turn up for the examination it is possible that they may be arrested and taken to prison for contempt of court. Because an Oral Examination can turn up some useful information it can very effective in deciding on which method of enforcement to use where the judgment has still not be satisfied.
