Holiday Hours: Our offices will be closed for the holidays from December 26-30, 2022 and January 2, 2023.

At Ramsay Lampman Rhodes, our lawyers are experienced in all areas of collections and creditors’ remedies, from demand and negotiation through to obtaining judgment and enforcing the judgment.  We know that trying to collect money that is owed to you, either through a contract or a court judgment, can be a frustrating process. We assist individuals, businesses, and institutions in the recovery of debts, both secured and unsecured, and judgments.

We provide clients with an understanding of their options for collecting debts and judgments and provide advice on the risks, costs, and likelihood of success for each option.

Our lawyers can help you with:

  • Collecting on overdue accounts;
  • Collecting on outstanding loans;
  • Enforcing court judgments (e.g., obtaining garnishing orders and working with bailiffs to seize assets);
  • Filing charges against property, including builder’s liens and judgments; and
  • Conducting examinations in aid of execution.

Our civil litigators can assist with starting legal proceedings in the Provincial or Supreme Court, obtaining injunctions to prevent a creditor from disposing of assets, or applying to set aside fraudulent transfers and preferences made by debtors in an effort to avoid paying their creditors.
