If a company for Bad Debts out of Balance Sheet (does not write off) then the recovery entry will be Interest. If the cow has written off the bad debts then they can no longer recover any interest. The interest is usually the only element which can still be recovered by the Company for a recovery.

So, you will know if the Company is recoverable for a recovery if the interest is not written off.

The amount must be greater than or equal to seven hundred pounds in order to recover the interest.

Your notification must state that you do not acknowledge the claim and that you are entitled to recover the interest.
