What is a Letter Before Action?

A Letter Before Action (LBA) is a crucial component of the legal process, particularly in matters related to debt recovery. This formal communication serves as a pre-legal action step, providing an opportunity for the parties involved to resolve the matter before escalating it to the courts.

This type of action serves as a pre-legal action communication, warning the debtor of the intention to take legal action if the outstanding debt is not paid within a specified period, typically 14 days.

The LBA outlines the details of the debt, including the amount owed, and provides a final opportunity for the debtor to settle the debt before legal proceedings commence.

Whether you wish to send an LBA or have received one, there is support and advise with the following:

• Purpose of the letter
