WHO  WE ARE

“Debt collection” or “Collection Agency”?

Switzerland — Germany — Austria — partly worldwide

We describe ourselves as “Debt Collectors” to distinguish ourselves from conventional “Collection Agencies”, despite the fact that “Debt Collection” doesn’t always have a good reputation. Of course, there are “black sheep” in the industry. And certainly, there are claims best handled by standard collection agencies or lawyers.

But what about the more sophisticated, deliberately unwilling debtors? Those who “disappear”? “Professional” debtors who deliberately incur debts with no intention of repaying? Or criminals who embezzle money and commit fraud? This is the specialized field where we as debt collectors come into action.

What’s the difference from standard “Collection”? As debt collectors, we are particularly investigative, with analysis and research at the forefront. We are present on-site with the debtor and seek direct conversation. We negotiate with pressure and yes, we do apply pressure. This is not inherently illegal. However, it must be intelligent pressure that targets a debtor’s weak points.

Debt collection, as we practice it, has nothing to do with “threatening behavior,” “thugs,” or “physical force.” Unlike other debt collection companies, such as Moscow Debt Collection, Russian Debt Collection, etc., we operate within the legal framework.

What we can do for you

Protect and collect your money

Debt collection “strategic” instead of “forcefull”

How We Return Your Money

Of course, threats of violence, use of force, and all illegal measures are out of the question for us as well. However, we utilize methods within a scope that conventional collection agencies and attorneys cannot (or do not) use. How do we bring money back?

1. Detailed Case Analysis / Case Documentation: This often already reveals starting points for direct or legal action.
2. In-depth Research: Online, specialized databases, on-site surveillance, informants, etc. This is how we find debtors and uncover facts and connections that often make debt collection or legal proceedings possible in the first place.
3. Skilled, Pressure-Driven Negotiation: Our staff members are professional negotiators who frequently achieve deals and arrangements under which debtors pay.
4. Strategic Pressure Within Legal Boundaries: Pressure itself is not illegal and is often unavoidable. For each case, we develop a pressure scenario tailored to the specific debtor and implement it without hesitation when necessary. We can explain the details to you in a personal consultation.
5. Creative and Absolutely Persistent Approach: We often surprise clients, as well as debtors, with measures and proposals they hadn’t anticipated. Sometimes this includes helping debtors (in an advisory capacity) to regain financial stability. Naturally, we ensure we’re the first to receive payment. And we always stay engaged until we have a solution—meaning money in hand.

Our core competencies are Creativity and Persistence. We are “seasoned professionals,” and if one approach doesn’t work, we try another. This ranges from personal or repeated visits to the debtor, covert or open surveillance, creating strategic scenarios to obtain information about the debtor or gain access to them, involving acquaintances or business partners of the debtor for mediation purposes, establishing facts that justify criminal charges or can serve as evidence in civil litigation, actively using the internet for information gathering, and more. We’d be happy to provide you with more specific information in a personal consultation related to your case.

Where we can help and where we cannot

Minimum Requirements and Prerequisites

• For claims under CHF/EUR 50,000, the collection costs may equal or exceed the recovery amount. Nevertheless, we encourage you to submit your inquiry. Depending on geographical circumstances or other factors, there may still be cost-effective ways to recover your funds.
• We require documentation substantiating your claim’s legitimacy. This is not because we doubt your credibility. However, without proper documentation, debtors would find it too easy to evade payment obligations. Acceptable documentation includes: court judgments, acknowledgments of debt, loan agreements, invoices, etc. WhatsApp or email communications are also valid. We explicitly handle disputed claims as well.

Persistent and Strategic Debt Recovery

We guarantee professional, persistent, creative, and when necessary, uncompromising debt collection.
