Our Services in Detail

  - Debt Collection (Germany)

 

For undisputed claims within Germany, we begin with out-of-court collection strategies. When applicable, we can report debtors to credit bureaus like Schufa.

 

If the debtor fails to respond, we initiate legal dunning procedures, secure a legally enforceable title, and proceed with enforcement actions such as asset seizures or bank account garnishments.

 

We also draft and manage structured payment agreements when debtors are temporarily insolvent — often the fastest and most effective path to resolution.

 

If the claim is disputed, negotiations break down, or fraud is suspected, we escalate the matter to a partner law firm for litigation or criminal investigation.

 

 - International Debt Recovery – Import/Export & Fraud Cases

 

We’re experts in international B2B collection, particularly in EU-Asia trade. Our services include:

• Recovery of unpaid invoices in import/export transactions

• Investigation and resolution of cross-border fraud cases

• Enforcement of claims through local partners worldwide

• Filing of European Payment Orders within the EU

 

Disputed claims or fraud cases are escalated to trusted law firms in the debtor’s country to ensure rapid and appropriate legal action.

 

 - Due Diligence & KYC Checks

 

We offer in-depth due diligence and Know Your Customer (KYC) services to verify the legitimacy and stability of your business partners—especially for high-value deals or in high-risk markets.
