International debt collection

Fruytier Lawyers in Business has great expertise in debt collection and recovery in the Netherlands as well as abroad. As debt collection attorney’s we take care of the entire process of debt collection, from the first notice of default to the enforcement and execution of a court order.

Available means of recovery
Before commencing the debt collection process the available means of recovery will be discussed with the client. Fruytier Lawyers in Business has digital access to public files like the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce and the land register.

It is possible to have a recovery research performed, for which Fruytier Lawyers in Business cooperates with various specialized bureaus.

Notice of default
In many cases our firm will first try to enforce payment out of court, before instituting legal proceedings against the debtor. Our firm will send a legal notice of default or claim notice, in which the legal interest and extrajudicial collection charges will be claimed as well.

If no payment can be enforced out of court, judicial steps will be taken – obviously in consult with the client. Undisputed claims may be enforced via a debt collection interlocutory proceeding, which can prevent time-consuming proceedings on the matter. Submitting a bankruptcy petition frequently leads to rapid payment by the debtor.

Provisional measures
In numerous situations it is advisable to secure the claim through preliminary attachments. By means of attaching before judgment not only can the payment of your claim be secured, but it may also lead to rapid payment.
Fruytier Lawyers in Business – unlike a collection agency or bailiff – as a law firm is able to place preliminary attachments (before judgment), and to institute legal proceedings. The benefit for the claimant is that the debt collection (and it’s management) from start till finish stays in the same hands.
The attorneys of Fruytier Lawyers in Business are attachment specialists and are very experienced in complex attachments regarding for example company shares, stock, vessels, aircrafts and intellectual property rights.

Success Fee
Fruytier Lawyers in Business performs the collection activities against competitive fees and often makes “no-cure no-pay” arrangements when it comes to undisputed claims. In such cases the client will only pay legal fees in case of a successful collection.

For various clients Fruytier Lawyers in Business handles their entire debt collection affairs. So called bulk arrangements are made with these clients. An efficient management and well trained debt collection staff will take care of a professional and successful execution of your debt collections. Ask for the beneficial conditions.
