International Debt Collections
If you’re not careful, the cost of recovering the debt internationally can quickly add up to more than the amount you are actually owed.
Fortunately, though, there is an alternative. As the world’s leading international collection specialist, we can recover the debt for you.
- Collection by our own specialist international collectors, or via our sister offices or agents, in 131 countries
- Multi-lingual collectors
- International network of agents and lawyers
- Monthly reporting
We’ll work in any market, conduct negotiations in most languages, and deal with the intricacies of any local legal system.
As with our domestic collection service, our approach has been tried, tested and successfully employed on behalf of thousands of companies.
Once the debt is passed to us for collection it is entered on our extensive information database and you will be assigned a dedicated international coordinator based here at Euler Hermes UMA. A letter will immediately be sent (or faxed if possible), advising the debtor of our involvement and requesting payment of the overdue account.
If payment is not immediately forthcoming, your international coordinator will contact the debtor by phone in an attempt to secure payment. If our phone-based activity does not yield a positive result, your account will be forwarded to the local Euler Hermes Company or agent for further action on your behalf.
Should legal action become necessary we can provide lawyers who specialize in the trading laws of the individual country involved. The case will be discussed with you in detail – in particular the likely cost and time implications of any legal action you may wish to consider.
