Claiming an outstanding debt from a client in Dubai

Hi,

We run a small consulting and design firm in Cape Town, South Africa. We recently were commissioned by a client in Dubai to develop their brand strategy and revise their website.

The last 25% payment is due and the client refuses to release this payment. It's a small amount of around $2500. What are our options without finding ourselves in debt?

Thank you

Hello there,

With reference to your inquiry, kindly be informed that your best option shall be serving them a Legal Notice for clearing/settling the amount they owe you.

Resorting to the courts will be a bad call since the amount is very low.

Anyhow, we can definitely assist you with that matter.

If you do require our services, please contact us on (+971505050835)

Kind regards.

Thanks for the response.

Yes, the amount is very low, but this happens far too often. How much would you charge for a legal notice?

Warm regards

You are more than welcome.

The professional fees shall be USD 350 (it is a fixed fee as per the terms & conditions of this website).

That shall include drafting the Legal Notice and serving it to the Notified Party via email.

Kind regards
