Cash flow is an essential to all businesses. All too often the cash flow is constrained by customers failing to pay legitimate invoices. The solution is to use the Court Service to recover the funds.

Please note that the Small Claims Track is suitable for invoices up to £5,000.00 - please submit claims which exceed this sum and we will advise your further.

Make sure that you have copy invoices available and if possible copies of reminders and statements.

Excessive Bank Charges
space


The banks are making enormous quantities of money from excessive charges and many customers fail to attempt to recover them. A lot of so-called penalty charges clearly do not reflect the actual costs to the banks and are purely arbitrary and well outside reasonable trading practices. Most of these charges are based on a computerised model as the banks do not have many skilled operatives/managers any more but the fact remains that their cost cutting should not be at the disadvantage of their customers.

Cost of landlords repairs or recovery of rent arrears
space


Tenants can be a problem for landlords. All too often they vacate the property leaving dilapidations and rent arrears. Often the security deposit fails to cover the cost of remedial work and the landlord must seek remedy via the Court Service.

The costs of remedial work can be recovered along with rent arrears. In addition rental income lost for the duration of remedial work can also be claimed.

If there are rental arrears accumulating by tenants still in residence and the landlord requires repossession of the property and the eviction of the tenants please visit our web site at :

http://www.property-repossession.co.uk .

Recovery of un-refunded security deposits
space


Most landlords retain a security deposit from the tenant. The purpose of this is to offset the cost of any dilapidations or rent arrears in the event of the tenant defaulting.

Unfortunately, some landlords simply decline to return the deposit even when the tenant vacates leaving the property in good order and with no rent arrears.

In these circumstances the tenant should make sure that they have a copy of the tenancy agreement, a receipt for the deposit or a copy bank statement, a copy of the inventory and condition check duly signed and approved by the tenant and if possible a witness. Photographs are also useful as are cleaning bills and the rent book.

If some of the forgoing are not available, do not worry. Just send your details to us and we will respond with the next course of action.

Motor accident damage claims
space


Most motor accident claims are settled by insurance companies. The majority of problems are associated with Third Party claims. Claimants with third party insurance who are the victims of no-fault accidents often find that their own insurers simply ignore them and the other side fail to co-operate.

Provided that that the other side are insured you can make a claim against the driver and on judgment the insurer has no choice but to pay you. If the driver is not insured then the driver will need to pay you in person. Either way, it is the driver you take action against (not an insurer).

Our evidence page explains what you will need to proceed with your claim - essentially you will need to prove liability and justify any costs incurred. Please note that if your vehicle is immobilised you can claim for loss of use, travel costs and loss of income. In addition the courts can make an award for your reasonable out of pocket expenses.

Unpaid wages/commissions/expenses
space


Employers have an obligation to pay contracted wages and expenses. Disputes tend to be associated with commissions - especially where the "employee" is self employed working on a commission only basis.

Other areas of dispute are associated with overtime and expenses, especially if the employee has left the service of the company.

Documentation is essential for this type of claim and in particular the contract of employment, copy receipts, commission statements, wage slips and personal overtime records. Most claims of this type are the result of another type of dispute with the employer. If the Claimant has resigned after some kind of argument then this should be identified. Even if the Claimant has had a row with the boss wages are sacrosanct and should never be interfered with.

Non-delivery of goods/services
space


Payments in advance for goods and services sometimes result in non-delivery. There have been a number of well publicised instances whereby Internet shoppers have been let down. Advertisers on Internet auction sites have also been the subject of publicity.

As far as the law is concerned, when you pay for goods in advance you enter into a contract with the supplier for the delivery of those goods. Failure to deliver breaches the contract and the Claimant has recourse via the Small Claims Court.
