Course description
In light of the current economic climate, both businesses and individuals will be preparing themselves for more challenging times.
For many, the financial benefits that were the result of a return to travel and expenditure on the high street following COVID were short lived, as the cost-of-living crisis, Ukraine War and continually escalating fuel prices continue to affect almost every individual in the UK.
This, unfortunately, means that there will be an increase in borrowing, debt and therefore recovery action, with creditors who also need to protect their own position, forced to take legal action.
In this six-part boxset, Krystene Bousfield will look at practice and procedure in both the debt recovery and enforcement fields; addressing and reviewing recent changes, updates and looking specifically at how creditors need to adapt their own approach to recovery to ensure success.

Introduction
In light of the current economic climate, both businesses and individuals will be preparing themselves for more challenging times.
For many, the financial benefits that were the result of a return to travel and expenditure on the high street following COVID were short lived, as the cost-of-living crisis, Ukraine War and continually escalating fuel prices continue to affect almost every individual in the UK.
