A disputed or contested debt can disrupt cash flow and create uncertainty, whether you are seeking payment or facing a demand you do not accept. Our debt dispute solicitors in Benfleet provide clear advice on your position and the most sensible way forward.

We focus on resolving debt disputes proportionately, through negotiation and settlement where possible. Where court action is necessary, we will explain the process in general terms and represent you throughout.

Debt disputes we advise on

  • Disputed invoices and money said to be owed under an agreement
  • Contested debts where the amount or liability is in question
  • Business debt disagreements between companies or traders
  • Defending demands for payment you do not accept
  • Disputes raised in response to a claim for an unpaid debt

Recovering or disputing a debt

Where you are owed money, a clear letter before action setting out the sum due is usually the first step and often prompts payment or a constructive response. We will advise on the most proportionate route, taking account of the amount involved and the prospects of recovery.

Where a debt is claimed against you and you do not accept it, we will review the position and advise on how to respond, whether the dispute concerns the amount, the underlying agreement or whether anything is owed at all.

The court process in general terms

If a debt dispute cannot be resolved by agreement, court proceedings may be appropriate. In general terms, this involves issuing or responding to a claim, exchanging evidence and, where the matter is not settled, a hearing.

Many debt disputes settle before reaching a final hearing. We will keep settlement under review throughout and advise you on whether an offer is reasonable in your circumstances.

Frequently asked questions

Where an invoice is disputed, the first step is usually to understand the basis of the dispute and set out your position clearly, often through a letter before action. If matters cannot be resolved by agreement, court proceedings may be appropriate. We will advise on the most proportionate route for the amount and circumstances involved.
