International collection

International collection by Fortis Inkasso.

Abroad too, we assert your claims for you in a legally secure way – from out-of-court proceedings in the local language to the European order for payment.

What needs to be considered.

International collection not only involves higher risks, but also requires considerably more extensive legal effort and research into the debtor. In individual cases it must be determined whether domestic or foreign collection law applies. Even if assertion is more difficult because the debtor's residence or company domicile is abroad, we will help you.

Here too, we first recommend out-of-court proceedings. We approach your debtor directly – where possible in the language of the country in which they have their residence or company domicile, or in English.

If out-of-court assertion is unsuccessful, applying for a European order for payment is an option for cross-border claims. The prerequisite is a due, undisputed claim arising from civil or commercial law with a cross-border connection.

We file the application at the European dunning court on your behalf. The debtor can lodge an objection within 30 days. If they do not respond, you receive an enforceable title and can initiate compulsory enforcement. In the event of an objection, we proceed to civil litigation.

A different remuneration arrangement applies to international collection than to domestic collection. Feel free to fill in our short enquiry form – we will advise you comprehensively.

Easy engagement, abroad too.

Frequently asked questions.

First, we recommend an out-of-court approach, tailored to your situation as a private individual or a company. After you place the order, we send the first collection reminder containing all the essential details of the claim. If the debtor does not respond, a further, more firmly worded reminder follows. Engaging a professional debt collection company signals to the debtor the seriousness of the situation – and in many cases this alone leads to a swift solution that is satisfactory for all sides.
