PLAYER DEBT RECOVERY NOW is the time to start chasing players who owe your club money. It will be too late by the time they have signed for someone else for next season. This MUST be done in writing, not a phone call, email or text message but IN WRITING. (In serious cases send the letter by recorded delivery and add the cost of that to what they owe.) The letter must state exactly how much the player owes and give a deadline for payment (14 days is suggested) and to whom payment is to be made. The letter must be copied to the General Secretary West Kent Sunday League and to the relevant County FA. If you know they play for another club on Saturdays, copy the letter to them also. If they do not pay, you can ask the County to use their Debt Recovery Scheme. This not only adds £25 costs to whatever they owe, but can also result in their suspension sine die until the debt is cleared.
