Collection cases require good preparation and knowledge of the legal obligations. Below we have listed the 10 most important obligations for you, so that you know exactly what to expect.
A clear written agreement is essential in preventing debt collection problems. Make sure that all agreements about deliveries and payments are properly recorded. This prevents ambiguity and gives you a stronger position if it comes to a legal dispute.
Sending payment reminders on time is crucial. Reminders that are sent regularly show that you are actively working on collecting your debt. This strengthens your position in any subsequent legal proceedings. In addition, it shows your debtor that you are serious about payment and that you will not accept delays. Consistently sending payment reminders can also help to avoid a lawsuit, as it often leads to voluntary payment. Always make sure that your reminders are friendly but clear, so that you maintain the relationship with your customer. Use different communication methods, such as e-mail and post, to ensure that your debtor receives the reminder.
In the event of non-payment, you are entitled to compensation for interest and collection costs . These costs must be contractually laid down in your general terms and conditions. We can advise you on how best to arrange this to prevent problems. Specifying these costs ensures that the debtor knows that non-payment is more expensive than timely payment. Including interest and collection costs in your terms and conditions also has a deterrent effect, which reduces the chance of non-payment. It also helps to limit your own financial risks, as the costs incurred for collection measures can ultimately be recovered from the debtor.
With the help of a debt collection lawyer, you can have a conservatory attachment placed on the assets of a debtor. This prevents assets from disappearing before a judgment is made. Placing an attachment is an effective means of pressure to enforce payment.
The legal form of your debtor, such as a sole proprietorship or a private limited company, determines the possibilities for levying an attachment. We check the legal form for you so that we can optimally advise you on the collection possibilities.
Agreeing on security such as a retention of title can make a significant difference when your debtor does not pay. This ensures that you continue to have a claim on the delivered goods until payment has been made.
An enforceable title is necessary to use coercive measures, such as seizure . This judgment is given by the judge and enables you to actually proceed with collection. Our lawyers will be happy to help you obtain this title.
A bankruptcy application can be an effective means to get a debtor to pay after all. Often the threat of bankruptcy causes the debtor to pay after all to prevent further problems.
A good debtor policy is essential to prevent payment problems. By making clear agreements and following up regularly, you prevent arrears from arising. We can advise you on how to set up this policy effectively.
Effective debt collection requires both legal knowledge and a proactive attitude. MAAK Advocaten supports you at every step of the debt collection process, from sending an initial payment reminder to seizing assets and filing for bankruptcy. Our experienced debt collection lawyers ensure that you get what you are entitled to.
