Our Approach to Individual Debt Recovery Procedures

Our process for individual debt collection in Kenya is structured to maximize recovery while minimizing stress for our clients. We begin with a thorough assessment of the debt, examining all supporting documents such as loan agreements, IOUs, or any evidence of the debt. A formal demand letter is then dispatched, clearly stating the amount owed and the consequences of non-payment, aligning with standard legal practice and the provisions of the Civil Procedure Rules. Should the debtor fail to respond or make satisfactory arrangements, we will advise on further legal steps. This might include initiating court proceedings to obtain a judgment, which can then be enforced through various means as permitted by Kenyan law, such as attachment of assets.
