Collecting Student Debt at the Legal stage

Legal proceedings

Sometimes it’s not possible to reach a quick and satisfactory resolution through Pre-Legal activities; in which case you may consider court proceedings as the most appropriate way of securing payment from your student.

Our experienced legal teams will handle all court applications, documents and procedures on your behalf. No attendance from you is required (unless the case becomes defended and a hearing is set) and LRC will manage all required paperwork.

We can work directly with the CPC (Claims Production Centre) to ensure Claim Forms are issued promptly and at a reduced rate (currently £10 off the usual Court fee) and where we do so, any savings are passed directly back to you.

LRC charge fixed Court fees, as governed by the Courts, which along with our costs, are recoverable from the debtor. Where appropriate, we will also seek to recover interest charges on your behalf.

As with all the services offered by LRC, any work we undertake and results we achieve, can be viewed by you on a case by case basis, anytime, anywhere, via our online Debt Recovery System. This service is free of charge to all our clients - select the ‘online System’ link in the menu to learn more.
