Transparency is our motto
Costs
Out-of-court dunning procedure
In the out-of-court dunning procedure, we not only assert your claim, but also our collection costs from your customer. If your customer does not pay, you will incur – fair and transparent – manageable fees. We would be happy to explain these to you in detail in a personal meeting.
In addition, we offer our contractual partners the option of commissioning our affiliated law firm if our dunning procedure is unsuccessful.
As a further escalation level, this takes over the sending of legal payment requests. This allows you to remind your customers of the seriousness of the situation in order to avoid legal dunning proceedings.
Legal dunning
In the area of judicial dunning proceedings, you as a creditor must first pay in advance. This applies, for example, to court costs and foreclosures. However, these costs will be charged to your customers, so that if your claim is successfully settled, you will also get these costs back.
However, we will advise you in advance whether it makes sense at all from an economic point of view to seek legal dunning proceedings.
If this is subsequently sought and leads to a title to your claim, we expect an immediate settlement from your customer.

If this is subsequently sought and leads to a title to your claim, we expect an immediate settlement from your customer.
However, if the debtor is unable to settle the debt immediately due to a wide variety of circumstances, we take over long-term monitoring within the statutory 30-year period. By regularly checking your customer’s financial situation, we ensure that you can still get your money if it improves.
