No one likes to walk away from debts due and payable to them. Increasingly, people are attempting to avoid their obligations to repay debts genuinely owed. Everyone is entitled to be paid for the services or goods they provide.
We believe that part of a successful business plan involves a fast and cost affective procedure for businesses and companies to recover debts due and payable to them by customers, clients etc.
The Small Claims Tribunal can be utilised to recover debts owing under $7,500.00. The advantage of the Small Claims Tribunal is that it is a simplified Court procedure that does not require, and in most cases does not allow, legal representation. We are happy to advise you how to complete a Claim in the Small Claims Tribunal or alternatively resist such a claim.
For debts in excess of $7,500.00 our procedure is to firstly attempt to recover those debts outside of commencing Court proceedings. Failing payment of the debt and prior to commencing court proceedings we will provide you with clear, no nonsense advice as to what will be required to proceed this matter through the Court processes. We will also provide you with an estimate of your legal costs.
Our goal, is to avoid undue delay, expense and technicality in facilitating the just and expeditious resolution of a Court matter.
We have a proven record in relation to settling matters at informal or formal dispute resolution. Mediation can be conducted at any time after a proceeding has commenced, and if successful can substantially reduce the legal costs and time required to resolve the matter.
Creswick Saal Lawyers also have vast experience acting for defendants who have had a claim brought against them.
