Debt Recovery & Enforcement - How to Ensure Success

Introduction

Obtaining a county court judgment against a debtor is all well and good, however turning that judgment into actual cash can sometimes prove to be more of a tricky process. In addition, the litigation process itself can be both time and cost consuming, so why invest such resources without knowing that you or your client will make good on the investment?

This new virtual classroom seminar will look at the steps that can be taken to ensure you are in the best possible position to ensure successful enforcement and recovery.

Does a debtor have the means to pay their debt; be that immediately or over a period of time? Do they have the ability to pay but are simply ignoring you; hiding assets; or failing to interact? How can you spot the differences between these types of debtors and use this to your advantage?

The session will also look at the methods available to carry out your own assessment of both personal and business debtors, and the enforcement methods that work best in each case.
