Insolvency Procedures

The insolvency procedures open to a creditor are a powerful tool in recovering debts. Whether the debtor is a company or an individual, an intelligent application of the insolvency rules can enable a creditor to obtain payment of their debt without the need for protracted and costly litigation.

The insolvency rules can be used for a broad range of debts exceeding £750 provided that the debt is not genuinely disputed by the debtor. Insolvency procedures however can be a high risk strategy and one needs to be very careful in using these procedures. There are substantial adverse cost consequences where the procedure is incorrectly used.
