Legal Frameworks for Personal Debt Collection in Kenya

In Kenya, the recovery of personal bad debt is governed by civil law, primarily through the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21) and the Contract Act (Cap 4). These statutes provide the legal basis for enforcing agreements and recovering monies owed. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd meticulously adheres to these legal frameworks, ensuring all debt recovery efforts are lawful and ethical. This includes understanding the statute of limitations for debt claims, requirements for promissory notes or loan agreements, and the process for filing civil suits if necessary. Our expertise lies in interpreting and applying these laws to your specific situation, whether it involves a verbal agreement or a formally documented loan, ensuring a robust legal strategy for recovery.
