How much does your debt recovery service cost?
These costs apply where your claim is in relation to a business to business unpaid invoice which is not disputed and enforcement action is not needed. If the other party disputes your claim at any point, we will discuss any further work required and provide you with revised advice about costs if necessary, which could be on a fixed fee (e.g. if a one-off letter is required), or an hourly rate if more extensive work is needed.
| Debt Value | Court Fee | Our Fee (Inc VAT) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to £5000 | £205 | £300 | £505 |
| £5001 - £10,000 | £455 | £300 | £755 |
| £10,001 - £50,000 | 4.5% value of claim | £300 | £300 + court fee |
anyone wishing to proceed with a claim should note that:
The VAT element of our fee cannot be reclaimed from your debtor.
Interest and compensation may take the debt into a higher banding, with a higher cost.
The costs quoted above are not for matters where enforcement action, such as the sheriff is needed to collect your debt.
Our fee includes:
- Taking your instructions and reviewing documentation
- Undertaking appropriate searches
- Receiving payment and sending onto you,
- Where no Acknowledgement of Service or Defence is received, applying to the court to enter Judgement in default When Judgement in default in received, write to the other side to request payment
- If payment is not received within 14 days, providing you with advice on next steps and likely costs
Matters usually take 4-6 weeks from receipt of instructions from you to receipt of payment from the other side, depending on whether or not it is necessary to issue a claim. This is on the basis that the other side pays promptly on receipt of Judgement in default. If enforcement action is needed, the matter will take longer to resolve.

Thank you once again for all the invaluable help you have undertaken on behalf of clients I have referred to you in respect of amounts owed to HMRC and petitions for winding up.
I know that my clients have been greatly impressed and it’s fair to say that without your help they would be in serious trouble.

Mr Maylin is absolutely fantastic, he knows what he is talking about as he is a specialist .I had a situation with a company that was using “sharpe sales tactics” firstly he managed to calm me down and gave me the correct advise on how to handle the company. I’m extremely glad I didn’t pay the company demanding money from me.
In the event you have an issue like mine then speak to Terry as he will know the solution. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm in the future.

When all else fails
When all else fails and you have to turn to solicitors you wont go wrong using TM LAW. Not the first time I’ve had to use them and am never disappointed. I have used them from drawing up lease agreements to pursuing monies through the courts system and have never had a bad experience with them by my side.
