Debt recovery and collections from claim to money in the bank.
Claim, judgment, recovered and outstanding on every case — with the loan it came from, the firm instructed on it, the private executor enforcing it, and every receipt that reduced the balance.
Winning the judgment is the half that gets measured. Recovering the money is the half that decides whether bringing the case was worth it.
A recovery portfolio is never one case. It is four hundred — each with a claim amount, a judgment that may be lower, a debtor paying in irregular instalments, an instructed firm, and often a private executor working the enforcement. The question the board asks is simple: how much came in this month, and against what. Answering it usually means a spreadsheet per firm, reconciled by hand, a fortnight after the period it describes.
From the claim to what is actually left.
- 01
The tracker sits on the case
One payment tracker per case, carrying the claim amount, the judgment amount and the date money last arrived. It is not a separate ledger to reconcile against the litigation — it is on the case the litigation is being run from, next to the hearings and the judgment that produced the debt.
- 02
Every receipt, with its evidence
A payment is logged with its date, its amount, the legal fees taken against it, how it arrived — cheque, cash, transfer or otherwise — the cheque or transaction number, and remarks. Receipts and correspondence attach to the payment itself rather than to the case in general, so proof of a specific instalment is one click from the figure it explains.
- 03
Outstanding is computed, never typed
The balance is the judgment amount less everything recorded as received, recalculated on every write. Paid-to-date is the sum of the case's receipts rather than a number somebody keeps current — which is the number that is wrong in every spreadsheet version of this.
- 04
The portfolio filters the way a collections desk thinks
By loan number and loan type, by the firm instructed, by the private executor, by case status — new, draft, paused or settled — and by paid or unpaid. Two checkboxes carry the questions asked most often: show me only the cases that have never paid anything, and show me only the ones that paid inside this period.
- 05
What came in this period, as one figure
Set the window and the total received appears above the grid, computed across the whole filtered portfolio rather than the page on screen. The same view goes out to Excel, or to a PDF grouped by case type or by case status, with the period applied either to when cases were registered or to when money last arrived.
The same thing, on screen.
Recording a payment against a recovery case — what it takes paid-to-date to, and the legal fees logged with it.
What changes for the recovery team.
- Outstanding is a computed figure rather than one somebody maintains.
- How much came in this month is a filter and a total, not a reconciliation.
- A case that has never paid anything can be listed in one click.
- The instructed firm and the private executor are columns, not recollection.
- Every receipt carries its cheque number and its evidence.
- The recovery position lives on the case the litigation is run from.
Everything included, in one place.
Claim, judgment and outstanding
Claim amount and judgment amount are held per case, and outstanding is the judgment less everything recorded as received — recomputed by the server each time a payment is written rather than kept by hand.
Receipts with their evidence attached
Date, amount, legal fees, payment type — cheque, cash, transfer or other — the cheque or transaction number and remarks, with attachments on the payment record itself rather than filed loosely against the case.
Loans, not only cases
A matter carries its loans, each with its own loan numbers, loan type, status and stage, and the debtor's commercial registration where the debtor is a company. Search matches the loan number, because that is the number a collections team has in front of them.
The firm and the executor on the row
The instructed law firm and the private executor are parties on the case and appear as columns on the tracker, so a portfolio can be filtered, reported and compared by who is actually working it.
Filters a collections desk actually uses
Period, paid or unpaid, case status, loan type, firm, executor, plus never-paid and paid-within-the-period. Free text searches matter number, case number, client and opponent together.
Reports that leave the system
Excel, or a PDF grouped by case type or case status, with the period applied either to case registration or to the last payment date — because those two questions get asked by different people.
Common questions about this feature.
No, and they are deliberately separate. An invoice is what your firm charges for its work. The payment tracker is money a debtor owes your client, recovered through the case. Different amounts, different payers, and settling one does not settle the other — though the legal fees taken out of a recovery are recorded against the receipt that produced them.
Both, and the module was built assuming both. The instructed law firm and the private executor are fields on the case, which is the shape a bank's recovery function works in — the portfolio is theirs, the litigation is run by firms they instruct. A collections firm sees the same screen from the other side, and the two can be looking at the same record.
Yes. Set the date window and the total received across everything matching your filters appears above the grid, computed over the whole result set rather than the page on screen. The same window drives the Excel and PDF exports.
Yes. Loan numbers are held per loan on the matter, a case can carry several, and both the grid search and the assistant match on them — because a collections team is working from the loan number, not the case number.
Each instalment is its own receipt with its own date, amount and evidence. Paid-to-date is their sum and outstanding is the judgment less that sum, so a debtor paying irregularly produces a running balance rather than a figure that is only correct on the day someone last updated it.
