Out-of-court proceedings:
Out-of-court proceedings are free of charge (no upfront fee, no hidden charges - no cure, no pay in out-of court proceedings).
In case of success in collection we only charge for a contingent fee from the collected amount in fact. Our system is as follows. Please ask for the details.
Our regular fees are a percentage from the amount we collected in fact:
• debt up to 5,000 EUR: x% / Debt more than 90 days old: y%
• debt up to 10,000 EUR: x% / Debt more than 90 days old: y%
• debt more than 10,000 EUR: x% / Debt more than 90 days old: y%
• debt more than 50,000 EUR: x% / Debt more than 90 days old: y%
In case the debt is already contested we reserve to charge a fee of 10% in any case.
We are happy to discuss different modes.
Please note that these conditions are not applicable if the debtor is in insolvency proceedings and not in a lawsuit and court proceedings.
If, after we have been instructed, the principal claim is paid directly to our clients we will charge a fee in any case, with a minimum of EUR 80 and a maximum of the percentage mentioned in our table. The same applies if direct arrangements are made with the debtor after we have been instructed.
For a better assessment of risks in the recovery of the claim and especially in the court proceedings, we strongly recommend obtaining information about the debtor's side.

The same applies if legal dunning proceedings are preceded by an objection, in which case the costs are higher.
The litigation risk - worst case risk - is the "Prozessrisiko" in the event that you lose the lawsuit, the fees of an opposing lawyer are added here, which you also have to bear in this case.
