Bad debt should be handed over after a 90-day period has lapsed. Many creditors have already broken the terms and conditions of the credit granted at this stage, causing the relationship to sour. Generally, all forms of communication have been ignored or the debtor has come up with a string of excuses or broken promises, which normally have not materialised causing the creditors to express their concerned lack of response for payment.
A collection problem exists and the account should be handed over for debt collection after the prescribed 90-day period.

THE DEBT COLLECTION SERVICE WE PROVIDE
Debt collection is time consuming and requires persistence and a continuous follow-up procedure. The aim is to place immense pressure and responsibility on the debtor to acknowledge liability and ultimately to settle the debt through strong negotiation skills.
STANDARD PHASE
Most accounts are settled through our standard collections phase, should the debt still be unpaid the debt will follow into the legal collections phase. During standard phase the whereabouts of the debtor will be traced, confirmed and updated followed with an intensive strategy containing letters, telephone calls, faxes, enquiries and any other way of personal contact. A payment plan will be negotiated and the financial position of the debtor established. Ultimately, settlement of the account will be achieved. Should all of the above efforts fail the next phase of legal collections will follow.
LEGAL COLLECTION
Some debtors only respond on court proceedings, which, unfortunately, are time consuming, and an expensive exercise, but a fruitful one in many cases where we institute legal action on your behalf against any debtor who has the means to pay but remains unwilling.
FAQ'S IN COURT ACTION
DOES THE COURT ACTION ENSURE THAT I GET MY MONEY? This depends on the status of the Defendant. If the defendant is insolvent or unemployed and has no assets then recovery is doubtful. The same applies to companies that have ceased operations.
WHAT DOES IT COST THE CLIENT? Each party is responsible for their own fees. If the legal action is successful, legal costs can be claimed from the debtor over and above the capital amount sued for. However, these recovered costs are only on the court tariff, which amounts to approximately one third of the legal costs incurred by a client.
WHAT IS A JUDGEMENT? After issuing a summons, the sheriff of the Magistrate Court delivers the summons to the Defendant. The Defendant has days to reply and have the following options:
1. to admit that the claim is valid and due
2. to defend the claim in full
3. to acknowledge part of the claim
If no response from the Defendant is received, Leon Wollnik Attorneys will apply for judgment and when it is passed, a judgment is issued.
Leon Wollnik Attorneys will request from the court either an order to get a deduction from the salary of the defendant or request the sheriff to remove furniture in order to pay for our claim. The latter is done by issuing a warrant of execution, which empowers the sheriff to claim payment or to attach property of the defendant in the value of the judgment amount.
If your have a valid claim against the debtor, it is seldom necessary to attend court as the Defendant/debtors prefer to settle the claim before wasting their time in court, especially if they know they will lose.
However, sometimes court hearings do take place especially in defended matters where the claim is in dispute. All parties will then have the opportunity to give evidence. The legal fees in defended court hearings will be for the clients account.
