Engage a collection agency | Collect quickly

Back to overview

Payment terms expired

It can happen to anyone: you have provided a service or sold a product, but the client has not paid within the agreed term. The client is therefore in default. If you declared your terms and conditions applicable in advance, a collection process is the best solution.

Contact the client yourself first: it is advisable to first contact the client yourself to ask why the invoice has not been paid. Perhaps there is dissatisfaction with a product that can easily be resolved. Also make sure you communicated your terms and conditions correctly in advance. If that is not the case, it can cause problems. Engage a collection agency: if the invoice still goes unpaid despite a final demand, you can engage a debt collection lawyer.

Steps after starting a collection case

Start a collection case

You can easily start the collection case online here. We ask for some details about you and your non-paying client so that we can get started straight away.

You can start the collection case via the button below, or engage us by email or WhatsApp.

Action within 3 hours

On working days, we issue a demand to the non-paying client within 3 hours. We are happy to use the information you have available.

How can we best reach your client: via WhatsApp, email or by letter? What assets or income does the debtor have?

We would like to know, so that we can take a targeted approach.

We keep you informed

As long as the bill remains unpaid, we continue to seek contact with the non-paying client. We inform you immediately of any developments.

Full payment

Our collection score is 91%. Has the outstanding balance been paid to us in full? Then we transfer the outstanding balance to you on the same working day.

Court procedure

If your debtor pays nothing at all after our collection process, then you also pay nothing.

You can have the case closed free of charge, or proceed with a judicial collection procedure in which a bailiff can seize income or assets. Breyta can help you with this too.

The consequences of unpaid invoices

Unpaid invoices can have serious consequences for your business. They negatively affect your cash flow, which can limit your investment and growth opportunities.

What is more, this can cause you to have problems paying your own invoices, which can lead to a chain reaction of unpaid invoices.
