If your owed money and are finding it hard to recover it, then you need to act fast before your debtor gets away. Speak to our friendly enforcement team to ensure that your debt is paid.
Debtor’s will try every angle or excuse into not paying you what your owed, they will either say the reason is because they are waiting on a payment to pay you then give you false promises into clearing the debt. After a period time chasing them they will then dispute the debt in every possible way. This is known as a common practice, promises are then given that they will pay you time after time, then begin to give excuses why they cannot pay. If they had every intention in the first place of paying you then ask yourself this question? (Why is it that you have not been paid?) the answer is quite simple…
Knowing that by stringing you along then gives them time to carry on with their day to day activities. Then the only option you face is that you will go through the channels of pursuing the debt by means of legal or court routes.
At this point it will then cost you time, money, stress and losses knowing quite well they have no intention of paying at all, wanting you to take them routes knowing that it gives them endless time to make other arrangements. If this is what you have or are going through then we suggest that you take action now.
Unlike debt collecting agencies, solicitors or even county court bailiff’s we work differently and do not:
Send letters out to the debtors hoping for them to respond.
Make a couple of phone calls to discuss the debt or debt/s owed.
Waste time with fabricated excuses as to why they cannot pay.
Notify them that our officers will be attending on such a date.
Give them time to move goods or assets.

The new Act although dated 2007 did not actually come into force until 2014 which was when the new regulations were implemented across the whole of the enforcement industry. On the 6th April 2014, the Common Law remedy or distraint or distress for rent was abolished. It was replaced by CRAR (Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery). At Debt Enforcement Group, our service agents along with enforcement agents have the expertise and knowledge of this regime. Under section 72 schedule 12 (taking control of goods) a commercial landlord can recover rent payable under the lease of the tenant without the need to go to court.
We will serve a 7-day notice requesting full payment of the debt appertaining to the outstanding Service Charges, Insurance or other charges and an Enforcement Notice for the rent under CRAR. As the collection of the Service Charge, Insurance, deposits, electric arrears fall outside of CRAR, so does all of our communication with your tenant. We use every opportunity available to us to explain/negotiate with your tenant wherever possible. Our aim is to obtain full recovery of the non-rent debts, alongside the collection of the CRAR debt if instructed. As specified by CRAR, the standard charges will still apply for the enforcement of the Commercial Rent.
County Court Judgement against a Corporate Company is essentially a court order, issued by the county court, that enforces the payment of a debt. If a creditor has taken reasonable steps to recover a debt, they may then apply for a County Court Judgement. The court will then decide whether there is a debt to pay and, if the debt can be proven, the court will issue a Judgement. A business will typically have 14 days to respond to the Judgement by completing the necessary paperwork. If more time is needed, it is also possible to ask the court for a 14-day extension.
Check your credit agreement to see if it is regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. If you are not sure, contact us for advice. A ‘stay of execution’ is an order made by the High Court which stops HCEOs acting as long as you meet certain conditions, such as paying the debt by set instalments. We will send advance notice from the HCEO that you intend to take control of their goods. When they receive the notice, they may be able to pay the money due to the HCEO, or directly to you, before the HCEO attempts to take control of their goods.

When an Order for Possession against residential or commercial tenants is made, it must be transferred to the High Court so permission from the Court can be given. Applications are made under Section 42 of the Country Courts Act 1984. Writs of Possession are issued by the High Court following the award of judgement or Order for Possession for property or land. The order or CCJ can be transferred to the High Court for enforcement if the occupiers are regarded as trespassers.

If a debt is in dispute this means that something is not correct. Whether it is incorrect service provided, incorrect goods provide or damage to goods/property. However 10/10 debtors that fail to pay will use this as a get out of paying method.
Our assessment team will take full control of this situation and assess if the dispute is resolvable or whether the debtor is using this as a delay tactic to make a none payment. If the dispute has been resolved then there is no reason or excuse for the debtor to pay the debt or debts owed.
