Debt collection

Collection for unpaid invoices

When a customer or debtor does not pay an invoice, it is essential to take timely action. Unpaid receivables can significantly impact your liquidity. Our office assists entrepreneurs, SMEs, and large companies through a careful and legally compliant collection process.

Inability to pay or unwillingness to pay?

In a collection process, it is important to distinguish between inability to pay and unwillingness to pay. In the first case, the debtor acknowledges the receivable but is temporarily unable to pay. In the second case, the debtor disputes (part of) the receivable and refuses to pay. Both situations require a different approach.

Solutions for inability to pay

When there is an inability to pay, we first seek a feasible payment arrangement. We carefully examine the debtor's recovery options. If necessary, we investigate their financial situation, for example, with a view to seizure. By applying pressure in a timely manner, it is often still possible to reach an arrangement and avoid a costly procedure.

Legal steps for unwillingness to pay

If a debtor disputes the receivable, a legal procedure is often unavoidable. We guide you through this process from summons to judgment. If the court grants your claim, we can immediately proceed with execution, for example, through seizure. This is possible when the judgment is declared 'enforceable pending appeal,’ so you do not have to wait for a potential appeal.
