If you do business in Belgium, you can invoice your customers for your services. However, experience shows that not all customers pay their invoices correctly and on time. If this is the case, our law firm can assist your company in the recovery of unpaid invoices in Belgium.
As part of our debt collection services, we always try to reach an amicable settlement first (e.g. through a final reminder from a lawyer or amicable negotiations). It is usually cheaper for your company to settle the dispute out of court.
Insolvency of the debtor
In practice, it is becoming increasingly challenging to collect debts due to the involvement of the Belgian debtor in insolvency proceedings. It is therefore vital to ensure that debts are collected in a timely manner.
If it is too late and the debtor is insolvent, we will help you with the insolvency proceedings. For example, if you have a retention of title, we will contact the liquidator and request the return of the goods. We will also register your claim as part of the insolvency estate and assist you in any negotiations with the liquidator.
Litigation & enforcement in Belgium
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to reach an amicable agreement with the Belgian debtor during the debt collection procedure and the dispute ends up in court. Of course, we can also represent you in court. For more information about our litigation services, please see Litigation in Belgium.
If you then have an enforceable title against the Belgian debtor, e.g. a court judgement or a European order for payment, this title can be enforced. You can find more information on this under Enforcement in Belgium.
Debt collection after bankruptcy
Following the bankruptcy of a Belgian company, I engaged Mr. Wirtz to represent my interests, particularly given the specificities of Belgian law in this area. From the outset, he handled my case with maximum commitment and demonstrated great creativity in his strategy. He was punctual, friendly, and communicated in an objective and effective manner. In short, he is worth every penny. Many thanks again for everything. I engaged Mr. Wirtz for cross-border debt collection and was very satisfied.
