Debt recovery can often prove to be a complicated and frustrating process. While it is instinctive to believe that the law protects creditors, reckless actions can inadvertently lead to legal issues. A legal misstep, regardless of having the moral high ground, can derail your debt recovery process and potentially expose you to legal action.
Physical coercion is commonly understood as unacceptable and unlawful. However, several seemingly innocent actions can also be legally problematic if they constitute undue harassment, deceit, or taking unfair advantage. For instance, the ACCC stipulates that a maximum of three calls per week can be made to a debtor, and none after 9:00 pm. Such fine details emphasise why a solo, unguided debt recovery attempt may not be advisable. Instead, engaging legal services with debt recovery expertise is often the prudent course of action.
Arida Lawyers are well-versed in the intricacies of effective debt recovery practices. Their extensive experience in legally persuading debtors to pay can often expedite resolutions, sometimes even before court involvement becomes necessary. A simple letter bearing a lawyer's imprint can be intimidating enough for many debtors to resolve their debts promptly.
