How
Airlie Legal Can Help
Airlie Legal's expertise and strategic approach ensure efficient and effective resolution of unpaid debts, helping you maintain financial stability.
Initial Consultation
Our process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your unique situation and the nature of the debts involved. We evaluate the details, review any existing documentation, and discuss your options for recovery.
Demand Letters
Airlie Legal will draft and send professional demand letters to debtors, outlining the outstanding amounts and requesting immediate payment. These letters are designed to encourage prompt resolution without the need for further legal action.
When you send a letter of demand to a debtor, they have the option to respond or ignore it. If they choose not to respond or their response is inadequate, you have the right to escalate the matter.
Depending on the amount owed, the case can be taken to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) or the courts.
Negotiation and Mediation
Before proceeding to QCAT or court, it’s often beneficial to attempt mediation. We will engage in negotiations with debtors to reach amicable repayment agreements. The aim is to find mutually beneficial solutions that facilitate timely repayment while preserving business relationships.
Legal Action
If necessary, Airlie Legal is prepared to take formal legal action to recover your debts. We represent you in court proceedings, manage all legal documentation, and advocate on your behalf to secure a favourable judgement.
In Queensland, the appropriate venue for debt recovery depends on the debt's value:
- QCAT: Handles claims up to $25,000.
- Magistrates Court: Deals with debts over $25,000 and up to $150,000.
- District Court: Manages cases involving debts between $150,000 and $750,000.
- Supreme Court: Addresses matters exceeding $750,000.
Enforcement of Judgments
Obtaining a court judgement is only part of the process. We assist in enforcing judgments to ensure that you actually receive the owed amounts.
To enforce a QCAT order, creditors must submit the order and an affidavit to the Magistrates Court, confirming the unpaid amount and non-compliance. The court can then issue various enforcement warrants.
This may include:
- Warrant for Seizure and Sale of Property - Authorises an enforcement officer to demand payment at the debtor’s location and seize non-essential items for auction.
- Warrant for Redirection of a Debt - Allows creditors to recover debts from third parties that owe money to the debtor, requiring proof of the debtor’s financial situation.
- Warrant for Redirection of Earnings - Enables creditors to collect directly from the debtor’s income, also requiring proof of financial details.
- Warrant for Payment by Instalments - Mandates debt repayment in regular instalments, halting other enforcement actions during the instalment period.
Ongoing Support
Debt recovery can be a lengthy process, and our team provides ongoing support and updates throughout. We keep you informed of all developments and work diligently to expedite the recovery process.
Tailored Solutions
Every debt situation is unique, Airlie Legal offers customised strategies to address your specific needs. Whether you are dealing with a single debtor or multiple unpaid accounts, we develop a tailored plan to maximise recovery.
