Why a collection agency in Amsterdam helps you get faster results
Business in Amsterdam moves fast. Customers come from all over the world, payment arrangements are sometimes complex and the pressure on your cash flow is great. That's when you want a collection partner who really understands the city, the industry and the way you do business.
As a collection agency in the Zuidas area, we know the Amsterdam practice up close. We combine that local knowledge with national reach and years of experience in business debt collection. As a result, we can switch quickly and keep you continuously informed.
With a local collection agency, you benefit from:
- Fast communication: You have direct contact with an established team, not an anonymous call center
- Local knowledge: we know the business culture in Amsterdam and the surrounding municipalities
- Practical solutions: We think with you about how you can continue to work well with your client in the future
Whether you have a creative studio in Amsterdam North, a law firm on the Zuidas or a catering business in De Pijp: we tailor our approach to your situation and that of your client.
Our approach: Amsterdam immediacy with national clout
You don't want long stories, you want to know what we are doing and when you can expect your money. That's why we work with a clear and transparent approach, in steps you can easily follow.
Phase 1: Amicable collection without a judge
We almost always start with the amicable phase. That means: quick and clear contact with your debtor, without going straight to court. As soon as you submit your file to us, our team gets to work.
- Within 24 hours, your debtor will receive the first summons
- We contact your customer via email, text message, phone and by mail
- We clearly explain what is open, what the consequences are and what solutions are available
In Amsterdam, a direct tone often works best. We are clear, but respectful. This leaves room for a good solution and prevents unnecessary escalation. Want to know more about this phase? Read how amicable debt collection works with us.
Phase 2: Legal steps from the South Axis
Is your debtor not responding or failing to pay? Then together we look at whether a legal step is logical. Our in-house lawyers know the Amsterdam District Court and know exactly how to draft a strong summons.
- We assess your case for feasibility and risk
- We discuss costs and possible outcomes with you before you decide
- We work closely with bailiffs in Amsterdam, Amstelveen and Diemen
Does a garnishment or judgment ultimately need to be executed? Then we connect seamlessly with the work of the bailiff. This way you have a single point of contact for the entire process.
