Debt collection company - how debt collection works with us
In Denmark, there are more than 200 small and large debt collection companies, all of which can help you with debt collection. In addition, all lawyers are legally allowed to help you with debt collection - however, very few of them actually offer this service.
Some debt collection agencies specialize in certain claims (demands), while others have a broader range of small and large clients, and thus small and smaller claims.
No two of the more than 200 debt collection agencies handle debt collection in the same way. In this article, we explain how debt collection works with us and what benefits it brings to you as a customer.
Debt collection - what is it?
Debt collection is a process for those who find that one or more claims (typically an invoice) have not been paid on time and now want to recover this debt. Basically, authorized debt collection agencies, all lawyers and you can carry out debt collection, as long as you comply with the applicable legislation on interest and debt collection.
In the debt collection process, you, your debt collection company or your lawyer can, among other things, make calls to the debtor(debtor), establish an installment plan, add interest, impose reminder fees, compensation fees and, in some cases, pursue legal debt collection through the enforcement court - all with the aim of getting the debtor to pay your receivable.
What can a debt collection agency do for you?
Basically, there is nothing a debt collection agency can do that you cannot do yourself.
That said, there are a number of advantages to using a debt collection agency rather than doing it yourself.
There are a wide range of requirements, rules, deadlines and thresholds that you need to comply with when pursuing debt collection against a debtor. In addition, a debt collection company can ensure you have more time to focus on what you do best rather than having to engage with your bad payers.
All statistics also show that a letter from a debt collection company is taken more seriously by debtors, rather than the company itself sending out letters.
The price of debt collection with a debt collection agency typically varies from agency to agency, but typically it is either through a subscription (service agreement), a fixed amount or a percentage of the amount collected if you manage to recover the amount - a no cure, no pay solution.

No two customers, cases or debtors are the same, and that's how we believe they should be treated.

In other words, a process can look very different depending on the case, the debtor and the debtor's reactions to each contact. But a process can look like this, for example:
After that, there is a wide range of additional options for possible legal actions, calls, RKI registration, etc.
