Recovery Strategy & Next Steps

Send Letter Before Action — Today

Dispatch the enclosed Letter Before Action by Royal Mail Signed For delivery. Give the debtor 14 days to pay. Keep your proof of postage. Many debts are settled at this stage — a formal legal letter is often all it takes.

Wait 14 Days

Do not issue court proceedings during this window. If the debtor makes contact, get any payment arrangement in writing before agreeing. If they dispute the debt, ask them to set out objections in writing.

File a County Court Claim — After 14 Days

If no payment is received, file a claim at mcol.justice.gov.uk (Money Claim Online). For £1,800, this falls in the Small Claims Track. No solicitor needed. Court fee is approximately £115 and is recoverable if you win.

Enforcement After Judgment

If you obtain a County Court Judgment (CCJ) and the debtor still does not pay, enforcement options include bailiffs, attachment of earnings, or a charging order over their business assets.

Case Assessment: Strong — Written agreement + delivered work + clear evidence

This claim is well-positioned. You have a written quote, confirmed delivery, and the client's own words acknowledging receipt. Success probability at County Court or via LBA alone is high.
