When Should You Send a Letter Before Action?
Before issuing court proceedings in Ireland, a plaintiff is expected to have made a clear written demand and given the debtor a reasonable opportunity to pay. A Letter Before Action issued by a solicitor significantly increases recovery rates — it signals seriousness and creates a paper trail for court if needed.
What We Deliver
- Solicitor-drafted Letter Before Action on our letterhead, signed by an Irish solicitor
- Clear itemisation of the debt, interest, and costs
- A defined compliance deadline (typically 14 or 21 days)
- Warning of consequences if unpaid — court proceedings, judgment, costs, interest
- Signed copy for your records and Word copy for any amendments
After the Letter
If the debtor pays, you keep the money. If they don’t, you have the foundation for small-claims court (debts up to €2,000), District Court (€15,000), Circuit Court, or High Court. We can advise on next steps for a fixed fee.
Typical Outcomes
Industry data shows around 60–70% of commercial debts are paid in full or part within 30 days of a solicitor-issued Letter Before Action. It is usually the most cost-effective first step in any recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a solicitor’s letter make the debtor pay?
In most cases, yes. A formal letter from a regulated Irish solicitor on letterhead significantly increases recovery rates — debtors take it seriously because it signals you’re prepared to issue proceedings.
How quickly do you send the letter?
We send the same business day for orders placed before 1 pm. Otherwise next working day.
What happens if the debtor still doesn’t pay after the letter?
You can issue Small Claims Court proceedings (under €2,000), District Court (€2,000–€15,000), or Circuit Court (€15,000–€75,000). We can advise on next steps as a separate fixed-fee consultation.
Is this regulated legal work?
Yes — drafted and sent by an Irish solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Ireland.
What if the debtor disputes the debt?
The letter requests payment within a specified period (usually 7 days). If they dispute, you’ll have a paper trail showing you tried to resolve the matter before going to court — a requirement before issuing proceedings.
Can you send the letter to debtors outside Ireland?
For debtors based in the EU, yes. For non-EU debtors, the letter is still useful but enforcement is more complex. Ask us first.
