Knowledge is the key in receivables management

In receivables management, it is not only the right approach that counts, but above all the knowledge on which you base your decisions. Without reliable information about the debtor, dunning proceedings, enforcement, or long-term monitoring can quickly become a cost trap. This is exactly where professional information reports come into play: With the right data at the right time, you make informed decisions and increase the collection rate of your receivables.

In this article, we explain in detail over around 2,000 words how, through address tracing, credit checks, and title monitoring, we always obtain the right information for you – quickly, in full legal compliance, and efficiently.

Why information is indispensable in receivables management

The best strategy fails if the foundation is missing: current and reliable information. Debtors change their address, suddenly become unreachable, are not economically viable, or currently have no attachable assets. All of this has a major impact on the chances of successful debt collection.

A well-founded information process in receivables management helps you:

• minimize cost risks

• avoid unnecessary measures

• develop a targeted strategy

• assess the likelihood of payment realistically

We are your partner in obtaining this information – discreetly, efficiently, and through Germany's leading credit agencies.

Address tracing – when debtors have moved

A common reason for dunning letters going unanswered: the debtor has moved, the letters are returned, and there is no further contact. For the creditor, this creates the feeling of sending reminders into the blue. In such cases, we initiate professional address tracing for you.

Our approach to address tracing

We draw on a network of leading credit agencies and registration offices and systematically check:

• current population registers

• other known residential addresses

• business registers (for commercial customers)

• data from court and public sources

Thanks to our interfaces, we can retrieve the data in real time. In most cases, you will know within a few hours where to direct your action.

Why address tracing matters

Without a serviceable address, you cannot initiate court dunning proceedings or carry out enforcement measures. With our support, you can ensure that you are legally on the safe side.

Your benefits:

• High hit rates thanks to modern systems

• Speed and legal compliance

• A foundation for further steps

Credit check – is court dunning proceedings worthwhile?

Initiating court dunning proceedings incurs costs. These are generally borne by the debtor – but what if the debtor is already economically unable to act? Before we take the next step in such cases, we can obtain a credit report on request.

What does a credit report show?

A credit report gives you an overview of:

• current and past payment disruptions

• ongoing insolvencies or insolvency proceedings

• negative entries in debtor registers

• industry key figures for business customers

How you benefit from the credit check

With the credit report, you can decide whether court dunning proceedings are worthwhile, whether an amicable settlement is preferable, or whether it makes sense to wait initially.

Your benefits:

• Cost minimization through targeted decisions

• Protection against hopeless legal disputes

• Transparency regarding the debtor's financial situation

Credit checks in day-to-day operations

We can retrieve credit reports directly via our connected interfaces. For you, this means no waiting times and no additional requests. At the push of a button, we deliver the information you need.

Court dunning proceedings & enforcement – based on reliable data

With the current address and a solid credit assessment, we can initiate court dunning proceedings for you on request. We monitor deadlines, file applications, and ensure smooth processing. We also handle enforcement for you – from wage garnishment to account garnishment.

But what happens if enforcement is also unsuccessful?

Title monitoring – when enforcement fails

In some cases, payment still does not materialize after court dunning proceedings and enforcement. The debtor has no attachable assets, is in insolvency proceedings, or is temporarily unable to pay.

This is where our title monitoring comes into play.

What is title monitoring?

An enforcement title obtained remains valid for 30 years. We include your claim in our free title monitoring and regularly check whether the debtor's financial situation changes. As soon as an opportunity arises, we initiate enforcement measures again.

Your benefits:

• No additional costs for monitoring

• Long-term protection of your claims

• Utilization of the debtor's later ability to pay
