Important to know

Enforcement strategy is crucial. Once you get judgment, payment is not automatic; legal action does not guarantee recovery.

Common questions

Is a letter of demand always enough to recover payment?
Not always. If the debtor does not pay after demand, additional legal steps may be required depending on the matter.
Does obtaining judgment automatically mean the debt will be paid?
No. Enforcement may still be necessary and recoverability can depend on the debtor’s financial position and assets.
