I want to serve or respond to a statutory demand - Dewsbury

A statutory demand is a formal warning that winding-up or bankruptcy proceedings may follow. It is a powerful tool for undisputed debts and a serious risk if used where the debt is genuinely disputed.

• Checking whether the debt is genuinely undisputed
• Preparing and serving the demand correctly
• Applying to set aside or restrain a demand served against you

What happens if a statutory demand is ignored?

After 21 days the creditor may petition to wind up a company or bankrupt an individual, which is why demands should never be left unanswered.

Is a statutory demand appropriate for a disputed debt?

No. Serving one over a substantially disputed debt can be treated as an abuse of process and lead to a costs order against the creditor.
