Car Doctors Ltd v Servicing Stop Ltd [2021] Romford County Court (Debt recovery- breach of implied contract)

Sohail was engaged on behalf of Car Doctors in recovering a Debt against Servicing Stop Ltd.

He was able to obtain judgment in favour of his client, however the Defendant company did not pay up the damages that were ordered by the Court and as such had to progress this matter to Court enforcement.

Sohail engaged DCBL (high court enforcement agents – as seen on Don’t Pay We’ll Take it Away) and was successful in recovering 100% of the debt and the costs that were due to the client.
