Frequently Asked Questions

How do I recover an unpaid debt in Malaysia?

Recovery usually starts with a letter of demand. If payment is not made, the options include a civil claim, or, for companies, statutory steps that can lead to winding up. The right route depends on the amount, the evidence, and the debtor’s position.

It varies widely with the court, the complexity, and whether the matter settles. We give you a realistic range after reviewing your documents.

Not always. Many disputes settle after a letter of demand or negotiation. We advise on the cost and risk of each route.

Do not ignore the documents. Strict deadlines apply from the date of service, and missing them can lead to judgment against you. Contact a lawyer immediately.
