Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step in recovering a debt?

The first step is typically a formal Letter of Demand setting out the debt claimed, the basis of the claim and a deadline for payment or response — usually 14 days. Many debtors respond or settle at this stage without the need for court proceedings. If the debt remains unpaid and disputed, court proceedings are commenced at the appropriate court based on the claim amount: Magistrate's Court (up to RM100,000), Sessions Court (up to RM1,000,000) or the High Court for larger claims.

Which court handles debt recovery claims in Malaysia?

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.

What if the debtor cannot be found or has no assets?

We can advise on options including asset searches and, where applicable, insolvency proceedings. Each case is assessed individually based on the circumstances.
