In acting for a creditor the steps usually taken for recovery of debt are:
-
- Letter of demand, giving the debtor a limited time to pay the debt or enter into an arrangement for payment that is satisfactory to the creditor
- If there is no satisfactory response to the letter of demand, commence proceedings in the appropriate court
- If the proceedings are not defended, obtain judgment by default
- Commence enforcement action to recover the amount of the judgment debt.
