Bad debt is a modern world reality affecting individuals and
business of all sizes. While there are stringent laws in the UAE that avert the
occurrence of such bad debts, recovery of unpaid debt can be lengthy hurdle.
Where it feels that the debt is not recoverable from your end, hiring a law
firm is the first logical step to initiate the process of debt recovery.
To mitigate the risk of contracting a bad debt, before entering
in a transaction, make sure that you:
1. Establish
Credibility: Checking the debtor’s legitimacy and market reputation goes a long
way. To protect your debt, you must also find out about his prior professional
connections in the industry.
2. Maintain
proper documentation: We have encountered many instances of unpaid debt where
the clients lack the necessary paperwork to support the debt, such as payment
receipts, written contracts, or debt acknowledgments. It is usually advisable
to retain sufficient documentation on hand to protect your rights in any
possible future dispute.
3. Secure your
payments with cheques or other instruments: It is advisable to secure any
future monetary obligation, with cheques or other instruments. You may encash
or enforce such cheques to recover the outstanding debt on maturity date.
Furthermore, it will be safer and faster to take legal action to enforce a
dishonored cheque.
Despite taking above mentioned precautions to reduce bad
debts, we cannot completely rule out the possibility of ending up in one. To
deal with circumstances like these, we are here to help.
