Sadly, individuals and businesses do not always pay what and when they should.  You may have supplied goods or services or they may have broken some other type of agreement. 

Before going to Court, a demand should first be sent to the debtor.  Mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution should also be attempted.  If these fail and enquiries suggest that the debtor has the means to pay and the likely costs are proportionate to the amount in dispute, you should then proceed as follows:

1. Ensure that both your prospects of success are good and the correct defendant is being sued.
2. Determine your entitlement to interest and calculate the amounts due both to date and on a daily basis.
3. Complete and file the necessary Court papers with the proper fee.
4. Either complete a request for judgment and costs or, if the case is defended, follow the Court’s directions and attend the hearing/s.
5. If no payment is forthcoming, decide which method of enforcement is best and then take the appropriate action.

Of course, further complications can crop up along the way. 

Mistakes could enable the debtor to delay the case or even avoid liability.  Do not allow this to happen.
