Does someone owe you money?

We can assist you to collect money that is rightfully yours by:

• preparing a Statement of Claim and arranging its service upon the debtor
• applying for default judgment
• enforcing your Court judgment by issuing
  • writs seizing the debtor’s property in order to repay your money
  • examination Summons, forcing the debtor to attend Court to display how they will pay your debt
  • garnishees orders where the Court can order a third party (such as a Bank) to pay the debtor’s money to you

We will also ask the Court to order that the debtor pay your legal costs associated with your debt recovery proceedings.

Bankruptcy

If someone is declared bankrupt, a Trustee will be appointed to take control of their estate including their family home in order to turn their assets into cash to distribute among their creditors.

Corporate Insolvency

If a company is declared insolvent the Court has the power to wind it up and appoint a Liquidator who is charged with turning its assets into cash for distribution under the rules of the Corporations Act.

Usually the Creditor and the Liquidator will recover their costs involved in the liquidation process, followed by entitlements owed to the company's employees. The rest the available funds are distributed among unsecured creditors.

• drafting letters of demand and Statements of Claim
• Default Judgments
• defended hearings
