Collection process.
From € 34.95, then no cure, no pay

No cure, no pay means you pay no collection commission if we do not achieve results. A one-time setup fee of € 34.95 applies to starting a case. After that: if we collect in full, our costs are borne by your debtor. If we collect partially, we withhold our commission pro rata from the amount received. If we collect nothing, you only pay the € 34.95 setup fee. No further commission, no hidden costs.

The process runs in four steps:

1. You start your case online in a few minutes;
2. On business days we pick up your case within 3 hours and contact your debtor via the most effective channel;
3. We intensively maintain contact (multiple times per week) and keep you updated 24/7 via the online portal;
4. Upon payment, we transfer the invoice amount to you within 5 business days. In many cases the money is in within one to two weeks.

If amicable collection does not succeed within 8 weeks, we come back to you with advice and you decide on the next step.

For private debtors specific legal rules apply, especially the WIK demand letter. Has your debtor not yet received a WIK letter? Then we send it as the first step. Your debtor has 14 days to pay without collection costs. If they pay within 14 days, we withhold our commission from the amount paid. If no payment comes after the 14 days, we can recover the collection costs from the debtor and continue the process.

Yes, this is permitted for collection agencies and we have been working on this basis for years. For other professional groups such as lawyers, different rules apply. At Breyta, the no cure, no pay component is on the collection commission. The one-time setup fee of € 34.95 is transparent in advance and falls outside this.

Then you only pay the one-time setup fee of € 34.95. No further collection commission, no subscription, no hidden bills afterwards. After our process you receive a non-binding proposal with our assessment: close the case at no cost, or continue with a court collection procedure. We discuss all options with you so you know what the costs might be before deciding. You will never face unexpected costs.

You can always close the case after our collection process. In practice this averages about 8 weeks, but is often faster. Stopping before that time is possible, but then we charge the collection commission for the work we have already done.

Important: do not make any payment arrangements with your debtor outside of us during the process. If the debtor still pays during or shortly after our process, our collection commission applies. Read our terms and conditions for the exact arrangement. Does your debtor have a payment proposal? Always discuss it with us. We coordinate it together with you. Our arrangements run for a maximum of 6 months, but in practice full payment is often made much faster. We take your specific preferences into account. Our goal is always: to bring your case to a successful conclusion with as few costs as possible.

Lawyers and bailiffs often charge hourly rates regardless of the outcome. We specialise in collection and resolve 91% of cases ourselves, before those heavier routes are needed. If your case does end up in court or with a bailiff, you work through us with carefully selected partners we have known for years. Through our experience we know which one fits your case, and through our scale you get better rates than going alone. The result: the same legal force, often a better end result, and one point of contact who manages the entire chain.

As soon as the payment term of your invoice has expired. We recommend at least two written reminders and one phone attempt, but this is not required. In special circumstances, such as a conflict over delivery, a payment arrangement the debtor does not honour, or a disputed invoice, it is best to contact us first to discuss the best approach.
