THE CHALLENGES OF FOREIGN DEBT COLLECTION

Foreign debt collection presents companies with particular challenges, as the legal framework differs from country to country. Different laws and court systems can make it difficult to enforce claims. Language barriers often hinder communication with debtors or authorities abroad. Cultural differences must also be taken into account, as the dunning procedure is perceived differently in other countries. Credit checks or determining a debtor’s whereabouts are also more difficult abroad. Varying data protection regulations can restrict access to important information. Different currencies and exchange rates also play a role, especially when calculating interest or costs. The enforceability of court rulings is limited in some countries or associated with high bureaucratic hurdles. Most companies lack the experience or resources to handle foreign debt collection independently, which makes processing even more difficult. Cooperation with local partners is therefore essential in order to successfully enforce claims.

LEGAL WAYS TO ENFORCE CLAIMS

Various legal tools are available to facilitate debt collection abroad. An important instrument within the EU is the European Order for Payment Procedure, which offers a fast and cost-effective way of enforcing uncontested claims in other EU member states. This is supplemented by the European Enforcement Order Regulation, which allows court decisions to be enforced without further recognition proceedings. For cross-border disputes, the European Small Claims Procedure, which is specifically designed for claims up to 5,000 euros, is suitable. International arbitration is also an option, especially if arbitration clauses have been agreed upon in the contract. Outside the EU, enforceability is heavily dependent on agreements between the countries involved. National legal regulations, such as debt sale regulations or limitation periods, play a key role. In many countries, judicial dunning procedures are also available, which vary depending on the legal system and the duration of the proceedings.

SUCCESSFUL ENFORCEMENT OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES ABROAD

In order to realize outstanding receivables abroad, various requirements must be met. Sound legal knowledge of the legal framework of the respective target country, international agreements and local legislation is required. Language skills, cultural understanding and appropriate communication are also important. Working with the right cooperation partners who meet high quality standards also plays an important role. Professional preparations, such as credit checks, clear contract design and careful documentation of receivables, are also essential. The right measures, including early reminders or, in an emergency, taking legal action, help to quickly realize outstanding receivables abroad.
