What is an amicable collection procedure?

Is your client failing to pay an invoice within the payment term? Normally you would not go straight to court.

The amicable collection phase is the process in which we send demand letters to the non-paying client. Because it precedes any potential court procedure, the amicable collection process is also referred to as the 'out-of-court collection process'. The terms mean the same thing.

What comes before a collection process?

For a non-paying client, you first send a payment reminder yourself. This gives the client the opportunity to pay after all. It also makes clear that the outstanding invoice has your attention.

We recommend at least two written and telephone demand letters before you start an amicable collection process.

Is the payment still not made? Then you can start an amicable collection process through Breyta.

If there are special circumstances, get in touch directly to determine the best approach. Because we are involved at an early stage, you have the best chance of preventing non-payment.

What does amicable collection involve?

Amicable means friendly, cordial or not enforced. In our field, amicable refers to collecting without a court ruling. That is why the term out-of-court collection is also used for the amicable collection process.
