The Legal Framework for Debt Recovery in Kenya
The process of debt recovery in Kenya is governed by a robust legal framework designed to protect both creditors and debtors. Understanding these laws is paramount for any successful recovery action. The primary legislation includes the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21), which outlines the formal court procedures for filing a suit, obtaining judgments, and executing decrees against a debtor. For larger corporate debts, The Insolvency Act, 2015, provides mechanisms for corporate restructuring or liquidation, which can be a strategic route for recovery.
Furthermore, the Credit Reference Bureaus (CRB) Regulations, 2020, play a significant role. While CRBs are often associated with consumer debt, they are a powerful tool in commercial debt recovery, allowing for the legal listing of non-performing loans after due notice, which can compel a debtor to settle their account to protect their credit rating. For smaller, undisputed claims, the Small Claims Court Act, 2016, offers an expedited and more affordable legal avenue for debts up to KES 1 million. At Swipe Recoveries, our team possesses in-depth knowledge of these statutes, ensuring every action we take is 100% compliant, ethical, and legally sound, maximizing your chances of a successful recovery while mitigating legal risks.
Our Professional Debt Recovery Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
Our approach to providing debt solutions in Nairobi is systematic and professional, designed to be as efficient as possible. The process begins the moment you engage us.
1. Case Review and Onboarding: We start with a thorough review of all documentation related to the debt, including invoices, contracts, LPOs, and correspondence. This allows us to understand the full context and build a strong foundation for recovery.
2. Initial Demand and Communication: Our first formal step is to issue a professionally drafted demand letter. This communication clearly states the outstanding amount, references the basis of the debt, and provides a clear deadline for payment. This is often followed by targeted phone calls and emails from our recovery specialists.
3. Negotiation and Settlement: We are skilled negotiators. Our team works to establish communication with the debtor to negotiate a payment plan or a one-off settlement that is agreeable to you. Our goal is to recover the debt without resorting to costly litigation if possible.
4. Legal Action (If Necessary): If initial attempts are unsuccessful, we provide a detailed recommendation on the viability of legal action. With your approval, our legal partners will initiate proceedings through the appropriate court, whether it's the Small Claims Court or the Commercial Division of the High Court in Nairobi. We manage the entire litigation process, from filing the plaint to enforcing the judgment.

Understanding Costs & Fees for Debt Solutions in Nairobi
We believe in transparent pricing. For most commercial debt recovery cases, Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd operates on a commission-based model. This means we only get paid when we successfully recover your money. This aligns our interests with yours and ensures you are not burdened with high upfront legal fees. Our commission rates are competitive and vary based on the age, size, and complexity of the debt.
Generally, you can expect commission fees to range from 10% to 25% of the amount recovered. For instance, for a standard commercial debt of KES 500,000, a successful recovery might incur a commission between KES 50,000 and KES 125,000. There are no recovery fees if we are unsuccessful. In cases where litigation is required, court filing fees and other disbursements are discussed and agreed upon beforehand. We provide a clear fee structure agreement before any engagement, ensuring there are no hidden costs. Our focus is on providing a positive return on your investment.
