Our debt recovery attorneys in Amsterdam follows a default strategy to bring the best recovery in a field that often is complicated.

There are two main ways to collect a credit in Amsterdam:
1) Extrajudicial Collection in Amsterdam:​
​The first phase to collect a credit in Amsterdam, arising from unpaid invoices or from a breach of contract, is to study the case and check if the debtor has a financial capacity to pay the debt. The second step taken by our Dutch Lawyers is to draft a formal legal notice of payment, assigning to the debtor a term to fulfill his obligations. Our activity continues with the telephone calls in order to receive the payment of the overdue amounts.
2) Ordinary litigation in Amsterdam:
Our Lawyers in Amsterdam, in case the extrajudicial phase is not positive, will proceed with the legal action in front of all the Dutch Courts (Cassation included), to defend the rights of our Clients. It is very important to underline that if you are sued by a Dutch plaintiff, the terms for the constitution are always quite short and it is important to contact a Lawyer in the shortest possible term. According to the Dutch law, most of the terms, can be postponed through a Lawyer, giving more time to organize the documentation and the defenses.
3) Freezing Order in Amsterdam: 
Our Law Firm assists foreign Clients in obtaining freezing orders in Amsterdam to safeguard their rights. One peculiarity of the Dutch Law is that the freezing order, requested by the creditor, is executed by the Bailiff without a prior notice to the debtor. This is very important as the freezing order will safeguard the assets of the debtor.
The procedure is the following one: our Lawyers in Amsterdam will file the petition to the Court to obtain the freezing order and, in general, within 48 hours the authorization is given if the case met all the requirement prescribed by the law for that. After receiving this authorization from the Dutch court the Bailiff will be able to freeze the assets of the debtor.
The requirements to receive a freezing order regarding unpaid invoices  are the following ones: 
  • to give the proof of the agreement between the parties (contract or order confirmation or verbal agreement);
  • to produce the invoices connected to the credit;
  • to produce a notice of payment sent by the creditor.
In general the freezing order is one of the most efficient and effective ways to recover a credit in Amsterdam
