Debt Recovery

If you are owed money but your polite reminders are falling on deaf ears, call on us for help.

Rather than resorting to an expensive or heavy-handed debt collection agency, you can count on our experienced debt recovery team to handle your case in a legal and ethical manner – but if it should prove impossible to negotiate a solution, we are perfectly-placed to act for you in any unavoidable court proceedings that may become necessary.

We will work closely with you every step of the way, and make every effort to achieve a cost-effective, out-of-court settlement that represents your best-possible outcome – so you can rest assured the money we recover on your behalf will not be swallowed up by excessive legal costs or hidden fees.

Our out-of-court approach to recovering your debt

George Ide’s debt recovery team specialises in going the extra mile to recover money owed to their clients. Using a combination of traditional professional expertise and new technologies, we keep our focus on your best interests at all times.

Only after written correspondence, negotiation, telephone contact, and formal legal communication will we consider taking your debtor to court – we can also help with the enforcement of existing judgements and claims for damages arising from debts owed to you.

Our team is also on your side if you need help disputing an unreasonable debt claim against you, and we may be able to help if a debt you owe has escalated unfairly beyond your control.

When can we help?

From start to finish, we will see your claim through to its conclusion. Our approachable, knowledgeable and skilled team will advise you on the most appropriate and cost-effective course of action at every stage, and our excellent standards of personal service ensure your best interests remain our top priority at all times.

Whenever possible, we will seek to resolve your case without the distress and expense of going to court and, by communicating regularly and in plain English, we will make sure you remain firmly in control of the process every step of the way.

Client Testimonials

Dear Paul. Thank you for you email. I am so pleased that everything has finally come to an acceptable solution. I am grateful for all your attention throughout. I have, at all times, felt supported by yourself and your firm and confident that you were working in my best interests to resolve the claim.

Kind Regards Janet

Paul Lewis

Thank you for all your effort and excellent advice and work in this matter. It’s very much appreciated and I will certainly use you and your firm again in the future should I require legal services.

Roger Koep

Paul Lewis

It is essential to feel complete confidence in the advice given and the person of one’s solicitor. I have experienced situations in the past where this has not been the case. When seeking a reliable practice some years ago I asked for a recommendation from a neighbour and was given the name of Mr Ian Oliver. I followed this advice, have used this practice ever since and have recommended it to others with complete confidence. It is very reassuring to be in this position.

Ian Oliver

Thank you seems such a trivial word and yet without your tenacity, we would not be here today. For all the medical providers you sought out and your words of stability at each and every stage I cannot thank you enough. You will never know how much of a difference you have made, without your constant reassurance and steps of transition to medical assistance especially during Covid I know I would not be at this stage on my journey.

Hi Paul. Thank you for your email and all your help over the past 2 years you’ve been fantastic and I would highly recommend you to anyone, I will of course let you no when I revive the funds and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Kind regards,
