About this Gig
Struggling with unpaid debts that are hurting your cash flow? A formal Letter Before Action (LBA), also known as a Letter of Claim, is the critical first step in the UK's formal debt recovery process. It shows you are serious and is a mandatory requirement before initiating court proceedings.
As a qualified UK Solicitor (SRA ID: 659327), I will draft a professional, compliant, and persuasive LBA tailored to your situation.
An LBA drafted by a solicitor carries significantly more weight than a standard reminder. It signals your intent to pursue the matter legally and often results in payment without the need for costly court action.
Why Choose This Gig?
- Solicitor-Drafted: Your letter is written by me, a qualified UK solicitor, ensuring the highest professional standard.
- CPR Compliant: The letter will comply with the relevant Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) Pre-Action Protocol, a crucial step to avoid potential cost penalties from the court later.
What You Will Receive:
- A professionally drafted Letter Before Action in both PDF and Word formats.
- Clear instructions on the n
Field of law:
Civil rights
Target country:
United Kingdom

FAQ
Is this a letter from a law firm?
No. This is a drafting service where I, as a qualified solicitor, write the letter for you to send. It will be for you to place on your own letterhead. This is known as an 'unbundled service' and is a cost-effective way to access my legal drafting expertise.
What information do I need to provide?
You'll need the debtor's full name and address, the total amount owed, the date(s) of the invoice(s) or debt, and a brief summary of what the debt is for.
Does this guarantee I will get paid?
While an LBA has a high success rate as it shows a clear intent to sue, payment cannot be guaranteed. It is, however, the most effective first step in the formal legal process and is required before you can issue a court claim.
What is the difference between this and a standard reminder letter?
A reminder is informal. An LBA is a formal legal document that refers to the Pre-Action Protocol and explicitly states that court proceedings will be initiated if the debt is not paid, satisfying a key procedural requirement for litigation.
What happens if the debtor ignores the letter?
If the debtor fails to respond or pay within the timeframe stated (usually 14-30 days), your next step would typically be to issue a court claim via Money Claim Online (MCOL). I offer a separate gig to assist with that process.
