Frequently asked questions

FAQ - International debt collection

How can Intrum help me recover unpaid invoices from foreign customers?

Intrum provides specialised international debt collection services, ensuring you recover overdue payments from customers in other countries. With local experts in 20 European markets and a global partner network covering 180 markets, we navigate local regulations, languages, and payment behaviours to maximise recovery rates while protecting your customer relationships.

What makes international debt collection different from domestic collections?

Collecting debt across borders involves challenges such as different legal systems, cultural payment behaviours, time zones, and language barriers. Intrum’s local expertise ensures compliance with each country’s regulations, increasing the likelihood of successful recovery.

Do I need a local office in the customer’s country to collect international debts?

No. With Intrum as your international collections partner, you don’t need a local presence. We handle the process on your behalf, leveraging our in-country teams and global network.

What happens if a debtor refuses to pay?

If amicable solutions fail, we assess the case and provide legal support options, helping you decide on the best course of action based on cost, likelihood of success, and local legal frameworks.

How long does the collection process take?

Timeframes vary depending on the country, the complexity of the case, and the debtor’s willingness to pay. However, with Intrum’s efficient processes and local expertise, most cases are resolved faster than in-house collection efforts.
