MoreDebt Recovery Service
I instructed Pearson Hinchliffe Commercial Law to recover over £70,000 of an outstanding debt for my company. They advised that Winding Up proceedings should be issued whilst at the same time they continued to negotiate on my behalf to bring matters to a conclusion quickly. Their advice proved to be correct and the debtor settled the claim on the day of the final hearing, achieving a very favourable result.
