Recovering an unpaid invoice internationally is often more complex than in the domestic market. Each country has its own laws, regulations, and practices for debt collection, making it crucial to understand and comply with local requirements. The process can vary significantly—some countries require formal collection notices before legal action can be taken, while others have mandatory mediation procedures or specific deadlines that must be observed.
Through our extensive international network of debt collection specialists, we ensure that each case is handled in accordance with local legislation and practices. In most countries, the process begins with a payment reminder, followed by a formal collection notice, which often includes statutory fees and late payment interest. If the debtor still does not pay, legal action may be necessary, such as a court ruling or an application to the relevant authority for a payment order.
In some countries, the collection process is swift and efficient, while in others, it can take considerably longer, especially if service of process or disputes arise. Once the debt is legally confirmed, enforcement measures may be taken, including wage garnishment, asset seizure, or other actions to secure payment. Our local partners have deep expertise in their respective markets, ensuring that the process adheres to legal requirements while being adapted to cultural and business norms.
