Frequently Asked Questions

The first step is typically a formal demand letter outlining the amount owed and a deadline for payment. This is often sufficient to prompt settlement without court proceedings.
The appropriate court depends on the amount claimed. The Magistrates Court handles claims up to RM100,000, the Sessions Court up to RM1,000,000, and the High Court for larger claims.
We can advise on options including asset searches and, where applicable, insolvency proceedings. Each case is assessed individually based on the circumstances.
