Debt Recovery & Collection

With Wangu Kariuki & Kariuki Advocates, you're assured by far faster debt collections than otherwise. We are well equipped to assist our Clients to collect bad debts with professionalism, integrity, and sensitivity to ensure that the commercial relationship between our Clients and debtors is maintained.

We make every effort to trace debtors and identify their assets as well as establish their financial standing. This information also ensures that “hopeless” debts are identified early and not pursued thus saving the client legal costs that may be incurred in the Court process.

We've noted that quite a number of companies use debt collection agencies, it has been our experience that debtors effectively respond to lawyers when faced with the imminent threat of litigation, insolvency or liquidation. A demand letter from a law firm has a more reactionary and positive effect than one from debt collection agency.
