Collection of debts in Germany

The most important part of a lawyer's task is the collection of debts and liabilities in the relationship with debtors in Germany or with the customer's outstanding demands, if the German lawyer works for a private corporation. The creditor to debtor relationship often starts with an intake agreement where the German lawyer gets to know the problems of his client, develops the facts of the debt collection, investigates where the debtor lives, increases the client's expectations, begins to develop strategies for claims and explains the methods to the client. In Germany, only solicitors were in direct contact with the debtor. The creditor did not retain a lawyer if this was necessary and he acts as a solicitor between the customer and the client. In most cases the debtor would be obliged, under the German law, to accept payments for a certain case in a country in which he helds himselve out as escaping, at any German city at which he normally remains or resides.

German debtor

The term debt collection is usually applied to lawyers, called such because they were a party to the original contract. The creditor assigns his accounts directly to a German lawyer on a fee-free basis, which usually costs nothing to the creditor, except for the court costs. This however is independent on the individual service agreement that exists between the creditor, the debtor in Germany and the collection agency. The lawyer is not allowed to take a percentage of debts successfully collected; this equals a Pot Fee or potential fee upon a successful collection of zero. This does necessarily have to be upon the collection of a full balance; very often the fee must be paid by the debtor if he reaches collection efforts when the debt is collected. The collection agency earnes money only if the debt is collected from the debtor. Depending on the type of account, the age of the debt and how many attempts have been made to collect on it, the fee will always be zero.

Not only debt purchasers who purchase sizable portfolios will utilize a lawyer to assist in managing their outstanding demands across multiple collection methods. Given the time-sensitive nature of the assets, many in the debt collections industry think there is a competitive advantage in utilizing the immediat collection technique as it gives the creditor more control and flexibility to maximize the collections. Lawyers in Germany offer a flat fee collection service. This service sends a series of written reminders, usually fourteen days apart, instructing debtors to pay the amount immediatly and directly to the creditor's lawyer or risk a collection action and later on a court procedure. Depending on the terms of the contract, the accounts may revert to a kind of hard collection status at the lawyer's regular rates if the debtor does not react or respond.
