A foreign services provider had a receivable that informal collection could not move. Standard follow-up communications had not produced payment, and the client had no direct standing to pursue the debtor in Iraq under its own name.
The task was to find a route that carried real weight locally, one that gave the debtor a serious reason to pay without the cost, delay, and uncertainty of court proceedings.
We assessed the outstanding amount, the history of informal collection, and the client’s lack of direct standing to act in Iraq.
We identified the relevant provisions of Iraqi civil and commercial law that supported the claim.
We drafted the Letter of Demand in Arabic and English, structured to carry legal and practical force, with a clear deadline for payment.
Court action stood as the stated next step if payment was not made. The debtor paid in full, so it never came to that.
The debtor paid the outstanding amount in full following receipt of the demand letter, without the matter proceeding to litigation. The client recovered the entire receivable within weeks of engaging Horizon Law Firm, avoiding the cost, delay, and uncertainty of court proceedings entirely.
