If the Debt Management Agency can't help, we can!
Since September 2015, the public debt collection system EFI has been suspended due to IT problems. This has clearly affected many of Denmark's municipalities and public authorities, which do not have the same financial leeway due to the challenges in the National Debt Management Agency. The result of the lack of collection has caused a poor economy for the public sector. Therefore, Collectia offers to help municipalities and public utilities with the collection of unpaid bills.
To create security for you as a customer in Collectia, we have a specialized team of employees who already today help a number of municipalities and utility companies. We have more than 150 years of experience in debt collection and offer full transparency of our processes through advanced reporting and an overview of all your claims.

Assessing citizens' ability to pay
Confidential treatment of personal data
"We see giving the private sector the opportunity to help the public sector with the collection of outstanding arrears as a step in the right direction. Today, we help several utility companies with this resource-intensive task. We have been chosen for our expertise in the industry, knowledge, experience and because we treat citizens in a respectful, professional and proper manner. This ensures that the customer relationship is maintained - even after a collection process."
