FAQ

Short answers.

What happens after the claim check?

The firm reviews the structured information and contacts you to agree the next step.

How should I communicate urgency?

No. State the relevant date and any urgency clearly, and call the firm as well when time is short.

Can enforcement start immediately?

No. Enforcement generally requires an enforceable title such as a payment order, judgment or settlement.

Is a reminder always required before court action?

That depends on the legal basis, due date and previous communication. A reminder is often useful, but each situation is different.

If timing is urgent, state the relevant date and call the firm as well.
