International debt collection and debt management

Because pre-payment or credit redemption cannot always be agreed on in competitive markets, you will naturally deliver on open account whenever the client seems to be financially strong. But waiting for payment on outstanding accounts can seriously harm small and medium-sized enterprises.

If your client does not settle during the agreed term of payment, we are at your disposal with our years of experience in the field of debt collection in Belgium.

As legal systems differ considerably among the countries of Europe, it is sensible to turn to a Belgian law firm like Aps Attorneys, which is highly competent in Belgium.

Quick, effective approach

We match our approach towards debt collection to your ideas, the situation at hand, and the conduct of your debtor. First of all, we get an overview of the facts by talking to you and your debtor, for we often quickly reach an agreement out of court.

In most cases, our letter suffices to convince the debtor that further delay will only cause him additional needless costs. In Belgian business dealings, the 11.5% interest charged on late payments becomes payable by the debtor automatically without the necessity of a reminder.

Further measures, if necessary

Sometimes a payment plan agreement can facilitate payment by financially weak debtors. This agreement should be drafted by an experienced lawyer, who can make the payment arrangements legally effective(or: binding?). With consumers, in particular, this approach has proven its value.

Finally, if the debtor is insolvent, an enforcement order is always necessary. You can count on our legal expertise in this instance as well. It goes without saying that we also execute enforcement orders obtained abroad.
