Debt recovery can be a complicated and unpleasant process, and the laws on debt collection can be difficult to navigate. If you’ve been unable to figure out how to collect a debt though other means, working with a debt recovery lawyer can help you expedite the process and pass any potentially unpleasant interactions to a litigator who is prepared to handle them.

Debt Collection Services
Our comprehensive Canadian debt collection services are designed to meet the needs of all of our commercial clients, including those who must operate under collection agency laws. Our lawyers are experienced in all areas of collections and creditors’ remedies, including:
Unpaid Trade Accounts
Trade laborers and organizations deserve compensation for their services, and these accounts can be pursued legally if normal recovery is proving impossible. Even though court orders are not difficult to pursue in these cases, a letter from a lawyer alone can often have a powerful effect.
Personal Guarantee Actions
Unsecured loans such as personal guarantees can leave some borrowers with little incentive to repay their debts immediately. In Canadian collection laws, protections exist even for unsecured loans. Our lawyers can help you seek the most relevant legal remedies.
Promissory Notes
Promissory notes have some strict limits on collection, and in fact may not be enforceable at all after only a couple years without action. If you have a promissory note that needs enforcement, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. A loan given on a promissory note can quickly become a gift.
Demand Loans
Demand loans can theoretically be called up for payment at any time, though that isn’t always how they work in practice. If you need assistance enforcing a demand loan or understanding the legal terms under which payment can be demanded, you can speak to our lawyers.
