Rieck Collect
We keep watch for years
Some debtors have nothing to pay with right now. Rieck Collect keeps the claim alive, follows the debtor for up to ten years and restarts collection the day there is something to recover. You hear from us when that happens.
- We review your old claims
- No lock-in
Ten years and tens of thousands of cases sit behind us when we review your old claims
How it is built
A claim has to survive the wait
-
The ability to pay comes and goes. The debtor finds work, sells something or starts a new company. Someone who could not pay three years ago may well be able to next year.
-
But the clock runs meanwhile. An invoice claim generally becomes time-barred after three years. With a judgment or an endorsed payment order it holds for ten. So the first step is to make the claim durable.
-
And someone has to keep watch the whole way. No bookkeeper has time to follow a debtor without money for five years. So the claim gets written off, and the debtor only had to be patient enough.
Where the case goes after you write it off
The list
We go through the losses you have booked
Most companies have realised losses going back years. Some are time-barred, some can still be collected. We go through the list and tell you which is which — including when the answer is that nothing can be done.
- The whole list taken in at once
- You are told in writing what is lost for good
The legal basis
The claim is made durable first
With a judgment or an endorsed payment order in hand, the claim holds for ten years instead of three, and the deadline can be interrupted again along the way. That is why a legal step can be the right one long before the debtor has anything to take.
- Judgment or endorsed payment order
- Ten years instead of three
- The deadline can be interrupted again
Ability to pay
Monitoring picks it up when the debtor’s circumstances change
The case sits in monitoring and the debtor’s circumstances are followed. If a property, a new company or an income turns up, the claim comes back to life. You do not have to watch for it yourselves.
- Up to ten years on the same case
- You hear from us only when something happens
- A case stays open even when it is old
Restarting
The case starts up again on its own
A case handler picks up where we left off: calls, negotiation, an instalment plan — and if needed another trip to the bailiff court on the basis we already hold. The case carries the same number it had the day you sent it in.
- Same case, same case number
- A new attachment on the old basis
- You are told when the money is on its way
The economics
The price is a share of what is recovered
Monitoring is the one case type where we take a share of what is recovered — including on the plans where there is otherwise no share at all. We put it here rather than bury it, and the rate is on the pricing page.
- The one exception on the whole platform
- You pay only out of what is recovered
Built for your setup
Lawyers, the bailiff court and your own ledger
A claim ends up in monitoring because the credit assessment or the bailiff court showed there is nothing to take right now. It stays where the rest of the collection work sits and carries on from there.
-
Rieck Advokater
The judgment or endorsement is obtained by lawyers in house — the same ones who appear in the bailiff court if the case has to go back.
-
Legal collection
If the debtor can pay again, a new attachment is sought on the basis we already hold. The case is not set up from scratch.
-
Accounting system
The amount is reconciled and booked in your own ledger like any other payment — even when the claim stood at zero.
-
The portfolio
If you have a list of realised losses from recent years, we take it in as a whole and report back on what can still be collected.
