MoreCommercial Litigation
My Company was owed over £51,000 in outstanding payments for work carried out as a sub-contractor. It appeared that the contractor was putting off paying the sub-contractors and whoever shouted the loudest got paid. I instructed Pearson Hinchliffe's specialist debt recovery department who issued proceedings in the County Court and obtained Judgment which was promptly paid by the debtor. Pearson Hinchliffe acted swiftly in recovering monies which were needed for my firms cash flow.

Pearson Hinchliffe provided my company with an excellent personalised debt recovery service. I recovered the full amount of the debt owed (£9,000) as well as interest and costs. The advice I was given was practical and current, the debt was pursued speedily and efficiently.
