Litigation Scoring

Targeted Case Selection for Maximum Gain and Minimal Risk

At UK Search, we’ve cooked up our own smart system for picking out the customers who are a perfect fit for litigation – and just as importantly, those who aren’t. Our process helps you spot the cases that are likely to bring in positive results, while steering you away from the ones that could end up costing you. It’s all about making wise choices with your legal action, saving you from unnecessary losses and giving you a winning edge. All Litigation Scores are broken down into high, medium and low risk scores to give an indication as to whether it is suitable to for litigation action.

Choosing which cases to take to court isn’t just about crunching numbers, it’s about doing the right thing too. We make sure that we’re hyper selective to ensure vulnerabilities and individual circumstances are taken into account. That way, the cases we select are fair, low on complaints, and don’t end up in a tangle of defences. It’s effective, responsible, and benefits all.

Customer

Processes That Drive Results

Maximising engagement with extensive due diligence and proactive contact at every stage of the process

Pre-Action Protocol

Our solicitor will send a Pre-Action Protocol letter to let the customer know we’re planning to take legal action and give them one last chance to engage before things move on to the next stage.

County Court Claim

A County Court Claim will be issued and the customer will get a Claims Pack, giving them the opportunity to file an admission or part admission, file a defence, acknowledgement of service, or pay in full.

County Court Judgment

If the customer admits the debt or things aren’t settled, we’ll go ahead and enter a County Court Judgment. This will show up on their credit record for six years and will severely affect their ability to obtain credit.

Enforcement

If we still can’t come to an agreement with the customer, you might choose to enforce the CCJ—maybe through High Court Enforcement, an Attachment of Earnings, or a Charging Order, depending on what fits best for the customer’s situation.

What Makes Us Different?

Proactive Contact at Every Stage

We know that the secret to sorting out debt, especially once it’s reached the legal stage, is real engagement. That’s why we don’t just sit back and let our solicitors fire off the usual letters; we put plenty of energy into reaching out to customers at every step, giving them every possible chance to turn things around. Utilising calls, texts, emails, letters, and even digital letters sent via SMS – this truly is a niche service that sets us apart from the crowd.

In-between legal stages, we make sure additional solicitor letters are sent out as a heads-up, explaining what’s coming next, what it means, and how the debt can be settled with us. Our aim? To keep things clear, informative, and simple for everyone involved.

High Court Enforcement Panel Management

We like to keep things moving when it comes to High Court Enforcement. That’s why we work with a panel of trusted agencies, spreading cases across several partners to make sure performance is managed and even the busiest periods are handled with ease.

Every High Court Enforcement company on our panel has been part of our team for years—they’ve all passed our strict due diligence checks and regular audits, so you can be sure your brand’s reputation is always in safe hands. Our panel management approach also ensures nation-wide coverage, meaning we can reach customers all over the country to keep the process as seamless as possible.

Comprehensive Reporting

Stay in the loop at every stage with our bespoke Litigation reports, your go-to management tool for real-time updates from partners and suppliers. These reports keep tabs on every litigation move throughout the debt’s lifecycle and gives you a front-row seat to all project details, wrapped up in one clear report.

It’s not just about keeping score, it’s about levelling up performance. By digging into the data, we spotted opportunities for improvement and rolled out several updates across our strategies.
