PRICING MODEL
As an exclusive partner, MUWEMA & CO. ADVOCATES & SOLICITORS handles pre-legal debt collection under Debitura’s Standard Debt Collection Agreement and standard pricing.
Clients encounter no upfront costs for pre-legal recovery. They only pay a success fee if MUWEMA & CO. ADVOCATES & SOLICITORS successfully recovers the claim.
If the firm does not recover the claim, clients pay nothing, which is known as “No Cure No Pay” debt collection.
What success fee applies?
The success fee may vary based on factors such as debtor location, claim size, and age of the claim. Generally, new and larger claims benefit from lower fees.

Legal Action
In situations requiring further legal intervention, such as disputed claims or unsuccessful pre-legal recovery, legal escalation can be considered. This action is not part of the standard No Cure No Pay agreement. If needed, MUWEMA & CO. ADVOCATES & SOLICITORS will provide a tailored quote through the Debitura platform for the client's approval.
Process
To submit a debt-recovery claim to Muwema & Co. Advocates & Solicitors, please first create a free profile on Debitura. Once registered, upload your claim through the Debitura portal. During this process, you will digitally execute a Power of Attorney (PoA) via the Debitura platform, authorizing Muwema & Co. Advocates & Solicitors to carry out pre-legal debt collection activities on your behalf.
Debitura's Standard Debt Collection Agreement
As an exclusive Debitura partner, Muwema & Co. Advocates & Solicitors operates under Debitura’s Standard Debt Collection Agreement. The agreement defines the Minimum Service-Level Requirements that must be met throughout the pre-legal stage.
Pre-Legal Debt-Collection Workflow
The exact collection strategy is tailored to each case, yet it generally follows these steps:
- Step 1 — Case approval (≤ 48 hours): Muwema & Co. Advocates & Solicitors reviews the submitted documentation and confirms acceptance of the claim.
- Step 2 — Skip-tracing: Debtor location and contact details are verified and updated in the system.
- Step 3 — Formal demand notice: A written demand for payment is issued to the debtor.
- Step 4 — Multi-channel collection campaign (3–6 months): A coordinated campaign involving letters, emails, phone calls, and SMS messages is carried out to secure full payment. If immediate settlement is not achievable, an installment agreement is negotiated and signed.
- Step 5 — Legal escalation (optional): If pre-legal efforts do not succeed within six months, Muwema & Co. Advocates & Solicitors may recommend initiating legal proceedings. Legal action falls outside the scope of the Standard Debt Collection Agreement. All associated costs will be clearly quoted in the Debitura portal and will require your explicit written approval before proceeding.
