Letter Before Action (LBA)

This confirms the exact amount of monies owed by the debtor and gives them formal warning that if payment isn't received by the date requested, usually within 14 days, then court proceedings may commence. It also makes it clear that any proceedings issued will also include a claim for Court fees and costs where applicable.

Many debtors will be aware that our debt collection team is part of The Sheriffs Office, further prompting fast payment to avoid court action and enforcement.

We will also look to claim lawful interest on your behalf so at the end of this process you may actually end up with more than the original debt!

A ‘Letter Before Action’ can be sent within 24 hours of receiving your instruction.

“It was a worrying time, we spent many thousands on legal costs over 2 years and although we had a High Court Judgement the Defendants still didn't pay us. Our solicitor issued statutory demands and then suggested we use The Sheriffs Office to enforce the demands and Judgement. Our main concern was the defendants not paying and incurring even more legal costs in collection, however it was so good to hear that the only fee we had to pay was £60. The Sheriffs Office attended the defendants property and after much deliberation the defendants made full payment, along with interest and their collection fees. Fifteen days later we received a cheque clearing our legal costs and original debt. It was so simple, easy and effective, thanks to The Sheriffs Office, without whom it could have been a thankless and fruitless task. Thank you so much.”
