Legal action - can I combine debts owed to my two limited companies

[interestedparty]

I may need to initiate debt recovery proceedings against a client - the debts are owed to my two limited companies. Can I combine the debts owed to each company, or would I need to initiate two separate actions.

you can't "combine" debt.
There are two separate debts to two distinct legal entities.

If you really think it's easier to purse one, then one company needs to 'buy' the debt from the other. The same way as companies sell debt to debt collection agencies.
Or sell one company to the other as an entire legal entity.
Both options are overly complex IMO

You are person. You can take clients to court for non-payment.
The first company you own, it can take clients to court for non-payment, via its director.
The second company you own, it can take clients to court for non-payment, via its director.

Do you understand now?
