What’s Included in Creditor Services?

Bermans Creditor Services offers a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to debt recovery, combining fixed-fee simplicity with expert legal support.

Our fixed-fee and hourly-rate services cover the full debt recovery lifecycle:

1. Pre-Litigation Action
  • Letters Before Action
    A formal demand letter sent to the debtor, often prompting payment without the need for court proceedings.
  • Pre-Statutory Demand & Pre-Winding Up Letters
    Early-stage legal notices warning of potential insolvency action if the debt remains unpaid.
  • Statutory Demands
    A formal legal demand for payment that can lead to bankruptcy or winding-up proceedings if ignored.
  • Bankruptcy & Winding Up Petitions
    Court applications to initiate insolvency proceedings against individuals or companies who fail to pay.
2. Court Proceedings
  • Uncontested Debt Recovery
    Fixed-fee legal action to recover debts where the debtor does not dispute the claim.
  • Litigation Support
    Expert legal representation for more complex or defended claims, charged at recoverable and competitive hourly rates or fixed fees.
3. Enforcement Options
  • Charging Orders
    Secure the debt against the debtor’s property, allowing for future sale to recover funds.
  • Attachment of Earnings
    A court order that deducts payments directly from the debtor’s wages.
  • Third Party Debt Orders
    Freeze and recover funds held by a third party (e.g. a bank) on behalf of the debtor.
  • Oral Examinations
    A court-ordered interview requiring the debtor to disclose their financial situation under oath.
  • High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEO)
    Authorised officers who can seize assets or enforce judgments for debts over £600.
