How to judge a debt collection company
- Who does the work? Advocates with the power to issue notices and file cases, or agents who can only call?
- How are they paid? A success fee aligns the company with you; advance fees pay them whether you recover or not.
- Do they know the law? Ask about the MSMED Act, Section 138 timelines and Section 43B(h). Vague answers mean weak notices.
- What is the track record? Numbers, not adjectives.
- Is everything documented? Notices, calls, settlements and filings should be in writing and shared with you.

Recovering B2B dues in Indore: what is specific here
Indore is Madhya Pradesh’s commercial capital, with pharma units in Pithampur, soya processors in Dewas and a wholesale cloth market in MT Cloth Market and Siyaganj. Pharma distributors and stockists are a common source of delayed dues, and the city’s Facilitation Council route under the MSMED Act is well used by Udyam-registered manufacturers.
Main industries: pharmaceuticals, textiles and garments, soya and food processing, auto components and IT services.
Courts: Judicial Magistrate First Class courts, Indore, for Section 138; District Court, Indore, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits; the Madhya Pradesh High Court Indore Bench for high-value matters.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Indore file on MSME Samadhaan, heard by the Madhya Pradesh Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council (Commissionerate of Industries (MSME Department), Government of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal). The Council sits where the supplier is, so a Indore supplier can pursue a buyer in another state from home.
How recovery works for a business in Indore
- Free consultation and case assessment. Send us the invoice, purchase order or delivery proof and the buyer’s messages. We tell you what is recoverable and how.
- Dedicated advocate within 24 hours. Your advocate sends a legal notice as an e-notice the same day and by registered post, with proof of delivery saved.
- Negotiation and settlement. The advocate calls the buyer, explains the consequences and agrees a payment plan. About 60% of our cases close here.
- Filing if needed. MSME Samadhaan before the Madhya Pradesh Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council, a Section 138 complaint in the Indore magistrate courts, a summary suit or arbitration, handled by the same advocate.
You pay nothing upfront. Our fee is 30% of the amount actually recovered; if nothing is recovered there is no fee. Court fees, where a matter is filed, are borne by you and told to you in advance.
