We charge a fee for the work, agreed in writing before it starts. We do not take a percentage of the debt, so recovering £40,000 costs the same as recovering £4,000 if the work is the same.
Every escalation is a decision you make with the cost and the realistic outcome in front of you. Nothing moves to the next stage automatically.
Anything reserved by law goes to RHF Solicitors at a fee agreed up front. We are open about the line because pretending it is not there would be the dishonest part.
Almost everybody starts in the same place, and it is not a service on the list above. Before anything is sent we check who the debtor legally is, whether the debt is still within the limitation period, and what it is actually worth once statutory interest and the fixed compensation sum are added. That costs nothing and it changes the answer surprisingly often — debts get chased against dissolved companies, against trading names that are not legal entities, and against the wrong company in a group, and each of those is money spent achieving nothing.
From there the route follows the debtor rather than your preference. A solvent company that has simply deprioritised you needs a letter before action. An individual or sole trader needs a protocol-compliant letter of claim with prescribed enclosures and a longer clock. A customer arguing about the work needs the dispute narrowed before any legal step, because issuing on a genuinely disputed debt is how a recovery becomes litigation. And a debtor with nothing worth enforcing against needs you to stop.
Everything up to the court door is unreserved work: checking the debt, costing it, the letter, the negotiation, the payment plan. That is where the great majority of commercial debt is actually recovered, and it is why an unregulated firm can do this properly and cheaply.
Issuing and conducting proceedings is reserved by law. When a case needs that, it goes to RHF Solicitors (SRA no. 324115) on the same file, at a fee agreed up front — you are not handed to a stranger and asked to explain it again. See how it works for the whole sequence, or pricing for what each step costs.
Not sure which of these you need? Send us the invoice and we will tell you — including if the answer is that it is not worth chasing.
The five stages, what you can add to the debt, and the letter-before-action checklist.
Tell us what you are owed and who owes it. You get back what the debt is actually worth once interest and compensation are added, what we would do first, and the fixed fee for doing it.
