Instructions
Step 1
Talk to the debtor, explain the situation in the conversation, express your claims and convey to him the idea that in case of non-payment of the debt, you will be forced to take measures to collect it. It is better to start the collection process immediately, because this will create a good impression of your company and show the seriousness of your actions.
Do not wait for the creditor to return every penny himself. Call, stop by, write, and remind him of duty in a gentle and respectful manner. You need to call several times at regular intervals. If the debtor ignores you, go to the debt claim, showing the seriousness of your intentions.
Step 2
Contact debt collection firms that offer to take over the debt collection problem. Collection agencies use an individual approach to a specific situation, taking into account the various social, economic and psychological circumstances that play a role in resolving the conflict. Their track record includes many difficult and sometimes long-standing, but repaid debts. The main attention in the debt recovery process is paid to the pre-trial solution of this delicate issue. It should be noted that their services, although completely legal, are very expensive.
Step 3
Check with a lawyer or law firm. This will be the best and the safest way to get your funds back, as professionals will competently draw up a letter of claim that will not contain threats and angry phrases, but only an intelligible and legal demand to repay debts. It depends on the content of the letter whether the issue will be resolved out of court or not. A competent lawyer will develop tactics for conducting the process for the return of money, help build relationships with the debtor. In addition, in the event of litigation, it will represent your interests, including without your participation.
Step 4
Submit an application to the court if the previous step did not have a positive effect. If you want your chances of getting the desired result to be significantly increased, hire a group of lawyers directly involved in debt recovery litigation.
Step 5
Do not neglect the receipt of the debt in parts, if the debtor still decided to return the money. In this case, the business will go much faster and, perhaps, you will be able to maintain a normal business relationship.
