Debt recovery: from evidence to enforcement
For a loan, contract debt or unpaid invoice, prepare records establishing the obligation and evidence of payment, delivery or services. Show the original amount, partial payments and balance separately. Preserve original correspondence, notices and replies.
A lawyer checks whether the debt is due, the evidence and deadlines before recommending a demand, negotiation or court claim. Interest and penalties need a separate basis and calculation. Obtaining judgment and actually collecting payment are different stages; discuss enforcement prospects from the outset.
