This is available as a component of our regular software such as our Finance House, or as a stand alone application that can be individually tailored to your companies needs.

Many companies, particularly those in the financial sector, are now undertaking their own legal work. The court system has become much easier to use in later years, also this practice obviates solicitors costs. By obviating solicitors costs, a company can pursue debts which would otherwise be written off. This in turn has to lead to an increase in overall profitability.

The system is very easy to use, following the basic design of our other software products. Opening from a main switchboard, the main working screen is shown here. As you can see, FastTrack Legal will handle multiple debtors/defendants.

The above example is taken from Finance House, that is why it shows fields such as vehicle index and original ref number. Entering the base details, court, case number, and debt, will automatically generate an order based on those details. The "Orders" tab screen will then automatically open so that the user can enter the details of any instalment order forming part of the original judgment. If further orders are made, such as a Variation Order, an offer of payment after Oral Examination, or whatever; that last order will become the basis for the assessment of arrears. All individual payments will be grouped under the order that was in force at the time that they where made.

The different order types are also used a a grouping level to analyse court fees for accounting purposes. Wherever an action involves multiple defendants, payments received can also be related to the individual defendant.

The Misc Fees tab allows the user to enter miscellaneous fees such as a bailiffs or inquiry agents fee.

The "Payment History" tab is self explanatory.

The final tab allows the user to enter future tasks and memo entries. Tasks will appear in the Virtual Organiser on the "Legal" page. You simply tick them of as you do them. They will then move onto the "Tasks Done" page. Clicking the calendar in the Organiser allows the user to view either future tasks to tasks done on that particular day. Uncompleted tasks carry over. If you have opened this page directly from the Software Switchboard, you will be able to see the Organiser on the Finance House page.

There is a facility to archive old accounts.

Payments received are entered into a fast payment entry screen similar to the one available for instalment agreements in Finance House. They can also be entered from payment book slip numbers.

Reports available cover payments received by date range, analysed costs by date range or by account, accounts with various user defined filters such as a date range for payments received, accounts live, accounts settled, accounts all etc, and memos by date range.

Price (As component) £200 + VAT. As standalone £250 + VAT, subject to variation dependant on degree of individual tailoring.
