How Our Debt Recovery Lawyers Can Help You

At Eleven Legal, we handle every step of the debt recovery process:

Drafting and Sending a Letter of Demand

  • A formal letter requesting payment within a set timeframe.
  • Often enough to resolve the debt without further action
  • If payment isn’t made, we prepare a Statement of Claim to initiate court proceedings.
  • The debtor has 28 days to respond after being served.
  •  
  • If the debtor fails to respond, we’ll apply for a default judgment
  • This gives you the legal right to enforce payment through the court.

Enforcing a Debt Judgment in NSW

After securing a judgment, we will pursue further legal action to recover the debt.

  • Writ of Execution – Seize and sell the debtor’s property to satisfy the debt.

  • Examination Summons – Require the debtor to appear in court and explain how they will satisfy the judgment.

  • Garnishee Orders – Secure payment directly from the debtor’s wages or bank accounts.

Debt Recovery For Small Business
