DEBT Recovery
Problems Tenants Face Without a Guarantor—and How We Solve Them

Why Landlords Choose Us

Our approach is grounded in practical methods that focus on results. With tools like Attachment of Earnings Orders, High Court Writs, and Tracing Services, we don’t just handle debt—we resolve it.

How We Solve Landlord Debt Issues

We address the unique challenges landlords face with proven methods that secure overdue rent efficiently and within legal boundaries.

  • The Non-Responsive Tenant

    It’s a common frustration: you’re owed months of rent, but your tenant is dodging calls and ignoring correspondence. This isn’t a roadblock—it’s a starting point.

Here’s What We Do:

  • We use skip tracing technology to locate tenants who’ve moved or become unreachable.
  • Our pre-action protocol ensures that all correspondence complies with UK law, preventing delays.
  • Legally compliant Letters Before Action (LBAs) demand immediate attention and repayment within strict deadlines.

What You Get:
A system that ensures no tenant can simply vanish, and a legal framework that compels them to respond.

  • The Vacated Tenant With Outstanding Rent

    The assumption that rent arrears are unrecoverable after a tenant moves out is false. Our process works to hold tenants accountable even after they’ve vacated.

Here’s What We Do:

  • Tracing Services identify tenants’ new locations and contact points.
  • We apply for Third-Party Debt Orders, allowing us to recover funds directly from the tenant’s bank accounts.
  • Charging Orders are used to secure debt against property, ensuring payment if the tenant owns assets.

What You Get:
A methodical approach that recovers debts regardless of the tenant’s location or situation.

  • Unenforced County Court Judgments (CCJs)

    A CCJ without enforcement is just a piece of paper. If your tenant is still refusing to pay, we take it to the next level.

Here’s What We Do:

  • Escalation to High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) ensures immediate action.
  • Writs of Control empower us to seize assets or arrange direct payment agreements.
  • We analyze your tenant’s financial situation with Open Banking tools to determine their ability to pay.

What You Get:
Enforcement mechanisms that turn judgments into cash in your account, not just promises on paper.
