Questions about debt disputes
What if the debtor disputes the invoice?
The matter may need to be handled as a contested commercial dispute. We will discuss any change in scope and costs before further work.
Does a court judgment guarantee payment?
No. The debtor’s financial position and available enforcement routes affect recovery. We discuss those practical issues when considering the next step.
