Residential Debt Recovery for Former Tenants.

Working with a reputable debt recovery partner is the fastest way to recover what is legally owed, without unnecessary delays or complications. The process typically involves clear communication with the debtor, negotiation if appropriate, and, if required, escalation to formal legal proceedings. The established legal frameworks and compliance standards must be followed to ensure faster payment resolution.

Professional debt recovery companies such as Strikes Property Services Group provide expertise in navigating the complex rules and regulations, minimising risk and achieving timely resolution. Whether through amicable settlement or court enforcement, the goal is to return monies or property legally and as quickly as possible.

No. This service is specifically for recovering debts after a tenancy has ended.

If your tenant remains in occupation and has fallen behind with rent, our Tenant Rent Arrears Notice service is the appropriate first step, helping encourage payment before legal proceedings become necessary.

In short no. In most cases our intervention can lead to the recovery of monies without the need for court action. However, a County Court Judgment (CCJ) or eviction through the section 8 ground 8 proceedure is also one of the tools available.

Once you instruct us, we must issue your tenant a Pre-Action Protocol Debt Notice Demand for payment (often when the tenant first falls into arrears of 1-2 months). This notice, along with the required forms, outlines the arrears, your position, and the likely action taken if payment is not forthcoming.

We act promptly. Once instructed and all legal prerequisites are met, our enforcement agents can begin action, often within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the case.

If a tenant refuses to pay, we can escalate the matter through further legal channels, including enforcement via High Court Writs (once we have obtained a CCJ) or applying for an Attachment of Earnings Order, Charging Order, or Third Party Debt Order, depending on the circumstances. However, the majority of clients will instruct us to issue a section 8 ground 8 notice for eviction. As a non paying tenant is a drain on your resources and asset.
