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.
