International debt collection by an International Debt Collection Agency proves to be the best option when it comes to collecting an international debt. Conducting business internationally opens the door to numerous possibilities and risks for the companies that participate in global trade. While there can be huge gains made from an expanded client base such as access to cheaper suppliers and partnerships with foreign entities, many companies face an increased risk of dealing with defaults on payment. Collecting payment from international clients can be confusing and frustrating as many aspects must be considered. From exchange rates and language barriers, to differences in customs and banking processes, collecting payment can seem like a daunting task. Having experience in handling commercial transactions and receiving cash is paramount to success when conducting business internationally.
When an international company does not pay an invoice there can be limited options for addressing the situation. Filing a legal action in a foreign country to try to collect a past due invoice can become a costly endeavor. Where contingency attorneys are familiar in the United States, most international legal systems do not allow practicing attorneys to collect their fees based on the outcome of the case. This means that costly retainers are required to be paid upfront, turning a defaulted debt into an even more expensive expense. In addition to the costs, legal actions can take many years. It is not uncommon for litigation in Brazil, for example, to last longer than ten years from the initiation of court action to the conclusion of the case. In some circumstances even winning a lawsuit in a foreign country will not guarantee recovery. In China, for example, defendants in a suit can file an appeal, and unlike in the US, where only matters of law are questionable in a request, Chinese appeals courts can completely reverse a ruling based on facts they interpret differently. When faced with these challenges, companies may be inclined to file a lawsuit within the United States against a foreign entity, but this is often futile as the judgment will almost always be uncollectible and unrecognized when trying to enforce the judgment overseas.
International Debt Collectors
Fortunately, the utilization of a third-party debt collection agency can provide businesses with international clients the relief they need. Our agents are trained to utilize various tools when addressing these issues. The agents handling a claim will focus on identifying the cause of the debt, explore remedies to cure the problems, and when appropriate, use the proper leverage to incentivize the debtor into resolving the matter. Unlike other agencies that use cookie-cutter demand letters and scripted agents, often in overseas call centers, our agents thoroughly investigate the claims to ensure that no stone is left unturned in securing payment. When a company still refuses to address the obligation, we have a network of collection attorneys that will not only dispute the claim, but collect through garnishments, liquidations, and other court remedies that force a recovery.
In addition to recovering the debt, other factors make selecting the right company when using a collection agency. On top of being taught collection tactics, our agents are also versed in business etiquette and conduct to ensure that our clients are being represented professionally and that their customers are being dealt with respectfully. In times where anyone can write a yelp or google review, businesses must be represented by a collection agency that conducts business professionally on the world stage.
