Our Process for Debt Recovery in the Netherlands

We follow a clear, structured process designed to resolve your debt issues efficiently and cost-effectively.

1. Amicable Collection (Pre-Legal Phase)

• Avoiding Litigation:
  We start by issuing formal reminders and demand letters to prompt repayment, aiming to settle disputes quickly and maintain good business relations.
• Direct Negotiation:
  Our team engages with debtors directly to reach mutually acceptable solutions.
• Cost Efficiency:
  Early resolution helps you avoid the high expenses and time delays that come with legal proceedings.

2. Legal Debt Collection (Judicial Phase)

• Taking Legal Action:
  If initial efforts do not lead to payment, we file claims in Dutch courts to secure a legally binding judgment.
• Obtaining a Judgment:
  A court ruling provides the legal foundation needed to enforce the debt.
• Enforcement Measures:
  With a favorable judgment, we can initiate actions such as wage garnishment or asset seizure to recover your funds.

3. Enforcement and Asset Recovery

• Licensed Bailiff Services:
  Following a court decision, our network of licensed bailiffs steps in to enforce the judgment.
• Advanced Asset Tracing:
  We use sophisticated asset tracing techniques to locate and secure debtor assets, ensuring that even hidden funds are brought into the recovery process.
• Coordinated Efforts:
  Our legal and financial experts work together to implement an enforcement strategy that maximizes recovery while adhering strictly to Dutch legal standards.
