DEBT COLLECTION

The Client shall agree to pay any commission charges for any accounts referred to Brookes Bates and subsequently paid from the date of referral of the account to Brookes Bates and on all payments received after this date.  Any work undertaken by the client and third parties shall not affect the client’s liability to pay Brookes Bates fees.

All charges are exclusive of V.A.T.

Debt collection services provided by Brookes Bates under these Terms & Conditions of Service will only apply to transactions outside the regulations of the Consumer Credit Act.

Brookes Bates reserve the right to withdraw or discontinue collection activities at any time, or to refuse to undertake any new collection activity by giving written notice to the Client.  Termination of service in this matter will not prejudice the right to be paid for any commission or costs incurred up to the date of such termination.

In the event that the Client is prepared to accept goods or services in lieu of payment of a debt, or receives payment via the debtor’s insurers, Brookes Bates retain the right to charge the Client for the value of the goods, services or monies received, at the previously agreed commission rate.

In the event that the Client wishes to withdraw an account from Brookes Bates prior to our recommendation that activities should cease, this intention should be made in writing.  Brookes Bates reserve the right to charge for collection of the account when the account is settled.

APPOINTMENT OF LAWYERS AND AGENTS

In the event that the Client instructs Brookes Bates to employ lawyers and/or agents we reserve the right to charge for these services in addition to the previously agreed commission charge.
