Costs for an undisputed debt
These costs apply where your claim is in relation to an 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, we will not be able to offer fixed fees for a disputed debt and therefore the matter will revert to an hourly rate general retainer even if the matter starter under the fixed fees below.
Undisputed Debts
| ||
Debt value | Court fee | Our fee (incl. VAT) |
Up to £5,000 | Up to £205, no VAT charged This fee is less for lower value claims. | £400 (£480 incl VAT) |
£5,001 - £10,000 | £455, no VAT charged. | £800 (£960 incl VAT) |
£10,001 - £100,000 | 5% of the value of the claim, no VAT charged. | £1,000 (£1,200 incl VAT) |
Anyone wishing to proceed with a claim should note that:
- The VAT element of our fee may not 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 bailiff, is needed to collect your debt.
Our fee includes:
- Taking your instructions and reviewing documentation
- Undertaking appropriate searches
- Sending a letter before action
- Receiving payment and sending onto you, or if the debt is not paid, drafting and issuing claim
- Where no Acknowledgment 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 21 days, providing you with advice on next steps and likely costs
Matters usually take 12 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.
