Common payment challenges

Where payment recovery usually gets stuck

Fees unpaid despite completed assignments

Retainer or success-fee balances delayed

Verbal approvals later disputed

Clients becoming unresponsive after delivery

Documents that usually matter

  • Engagement letter / proposal
  • Invoices
  • Work-product or delivery proof
  • Email / WhatsApp approvals
  • Timesheets where relevant
  • Payment acknowledgements

Recovery approach

The route depends on the transaction, documents and debtor response.

We do not treat every overdue account the same way. The first step is to understand what was agreed, what was delivered, what has been acknowledged and what remains disputed. The recovery strategy is then matched to those facts.

Professional recovery communication

Negotiated settlement

Legal notice

Civil / summary recovery where maintainable

Arbitration where contracted
