Addressing Late Payments in Agricultural Exports to the UAE
Investigation and Recovery Process
We’ve honed a three-phase Recovery System to reclaim funds in the agricultural export sector. Initially, we act swiftly. Within 24 hours of an account placement, debtors receive the first of several notices, and our team conducts extensive skip-tracing to gather financial and contact details. Daily attempts to engage and resolve the issue follow.
Should these efforts not yield results, we escalate to Phase Two, involving our network of attorneys who intensify pressure through legal correspondence and calls. If this too proves unfruitful, we arrive at Phase Three, where we face a critical decision based on a comprehensive assessment of the debtor’s assets and the facts at hand.
We stand by a principle of fairness: if recovery is unlikely, we recommend case closure, and you owe us nothing. Conversely, if litigation is advised and you choose to proceed, upfront legal costs will apply.
