Kent Solicitors

When you enter into a contract to supply goods or services do you make sure you know exactly who you are dealing with and who is responsible for payment of your invoice?

We often find in debt collecting matters that our client has not made proper enquiry as to the true identity of their customer. It may be a limited company, a partnership or an individual trading in his or her own name, or under a trading name. It is not necessarily the person who places the order who is responsible.

If it becomes necessary to issue proceedings to recover a bad debt this failure can cost time and money and may even lead to proceedings being issued against the wrong party and a costs order against you.
