HOW DO YOU RECOVER A DEBT IN KENYA?

1. You have entered into a contract for the supply of goods or services to someone but after supplying he/she has refused to pay you.  What do you do?

2. The first thing you can do is to issue   a Demand Letter asking them to pay the Debt.

3. If they don’t respond to the Demand Letter within 7 days and the debt owed is less than 1 million shillings, you can file a case against them in the Small Claims Court.

4. Filing a case in the Small Claims Court will cost you less than 1000 shillings.
