If you want to get your money back quick, read on.
The first half is recovery against a Company and
the other part is when your debtor is NOT a Company.
WHAT IS THE FASTEST METHOD IN DEBT RECOVERY AGAINST A COMPANY?
File a companies winding up petition WITHOUT getting a judgment (going the long process of trial).
Filing a Companies Winding Up Petition against your debtors (who are a company, in Malaysia they are BERHAD, BHD, or a Private Limited Company, SENDIRIAN BERHAD, Sdn Bhd), is the fastest method of recovery.
What is the Alternative
The alternative will be a filing of a Writ of Summons to get a judgment then file a winding up petition AFTER getting a judgment.
HOW SOON: USUALY WITHIN 6 MONTHS
From our experience it takes about 6 months from the time we issue a letter of demand till the recovery of the debts.
WHY MUST I ACT NOW: WHY NOT LET OTHER CREDITORS START THE PROCESS FIRST
In this debt recovery game the sooner you start your recovery process the sooner you will be paid. The reason is simple, we have experienced a matter where there are about 60 creditors taking legal actions at the same time, only less than 5 received payment.
HOW & WHY- FREEZING OF ASSETS
Once we have filed a companies winding up petition against the debtors, we will usually proceed to take legal action to freeze the assets of the company, all these will take place within two months of filing the action in court, once that is achieved, when the winding up order is finally made, the monies in their bank accounts and the assets are intact for the Liquidator to collect and distribute to the creditors.
