Forthcoming Credit control webinars include:
Recovering your Assets - from those in breach of contract or where the equipment is at risk! - 11 January 2012
Recovering an asset is often the last resort. However, in order to protect your brand and business asset, often a return of goods claim is the only option if possession will not surrendered willingly. When the final decision is made to commence a recovery action it is not unusual to find that the machines have been 'sold', damaged or disappeared altogether.
In this webinar Brethertons explains how assets can be recovered within England and Wales and how money claims for damage caused can be pursued successfully.

Past Webinar Titles:
In addition to the webinars outlined above, Brethertons has recordings of previous webinars which have taken place over the last 6 months. These include:
County Court Procedures
How to maximise your chances of successfully recovering your cash if you have to attend a Court hearing. The webinar includes how to conduct yourself at a hearing before a District Judge in the Small Claims Court.
Retention of Title in a Nutshell
Relying on a Retention of Title Clause contained in a contract or terms and conditions of trading is sometimes one of the last tools available to creditors, who want to recover their goods when invoices remain unpaid. However enforcing retention of title can be problematic. This webinar explains why businesses should have a retention of title clause, when they should not, how they work, why they fail, how they should be used and advice on dealing with liquidators.
Insolvency – In a Nutshell
How to minimise the pain when a customer becomes insolvent. This webinar covers Insolvency, Bankruptcy, Individual Voluntary Arrangements and Corporate Insolvency procedures.
Training your Staff for Mediation
From April 2009, each Country Court in England and Wales has an in-house mediator, who encourages parties to participate in the mediation process and not proceed to trial. Whilst many credit professionals may be familiar with the legal process, mediation is something new. This webinar explains what participants should expect from mediation.
Overpayment of Salaries - The Right to Recover
As all Payroll Managers know, recovering money from ex-employees can be fraught with problems. Overpayments can include salaries, benefits, reclaiming holiday pay and in some cases employee loans.
Terms and Conditions – In a Nutshell
All businesses should have Terms and Conditions of Trading, as failure to do so could mean that it is left to the Court to decide on what terms businesses have entered into contracts. It is better to make your own terms than to let a Judge decide the terms that apply.
Student Accommodation - Recovering your rent
This webinar is essential viewing for those seeking to recover rent from student tenants. The webinar covers the following topics:
• Market overview, growth in student accommodation
• Know your client
• What makes a tenancy agreement legal?
• To sue or not to sue
• Enforcement & Resolution
