Letter Before Action

Letter before action advice for unpaid debts, with a clear statement of the claim and next steps from solicitors in Billericay, Essex.

About Letter Before Action

A formal letter before action sets out why payment is due and gives the recipient an opportunity to respond before proceedings. The applicable pre-action procedure depends on the parties and the claim. A disputed invoice may require more investigation than a simple request for an overdue balance.

Key Points

  • Check the debtor's correct legal identity.
  • Gather the contract, invoices and payment history.
  • Use the procedure and response period appropriate to the claim.

How We Can Help

We review the debt documents, prepare a focused demand and assess the response. If payment remains outstanding, we explain the options for negotiation or a claim and the likely costs of moving to the next stage.
