Collect What You’re Owed—Without Expensive Lawyers
Someone owes you money and won’t pay. You’ve sent reminders, made calls, and gotten nowhere. Hiring a lawyer seems expensive—possibly more than the debt itself. But you have options. Singapore provides accessible legal mechanisms for debt recovery that you can navigate yourself.
DIY Debt Recovery Arsenal is your complete guide to collecting debts in Singapore, from demand letters to Small Claims Tribunal to enforcement. Learn the process, avoid the pitfalls, and recover what you’re owed.
What You’ll Discover:
- Letter of demand: the formal first step that often triggers payment
- Small Claims Tribunal: claims up to $20,000 (or $30,000 by consent)
- Magistrate’s Court: when your claim exceeds SCT limits
- Evidence preparation: what you need to prove your case
- The hearing process: what to expect and how to present effectively
- Enforcement: turning a judgment into actual money
- Costs and timelines: realistic expectations for the process
The Recovery Toolkit:
- Demand letter templates that signal serious intent
- SCT claim form completion guide
- Evidence bundle organisation system
