If, contrary to expectations, the out-of-court (pre-court) collection procedure has not led to settlement of your claim by the debtor, and the investigations we have made into the personal and financial circumstances of your debtor have not revealed any indications that the further pursuit of your claim in court proceedings would be manifestly futile, we will automatically initiate court order for payment proceedings before the competent local court (dunning court). Since we, as a Registered Collection Agency (Section 10 of the Legal Services Act), are authorized to represent you in these proceedings as your legal representatives, we refrain – for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary additional costs and for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary time delays – from engaging lawyers to represent you.
Application for the issuance of an order for payment
As since 01.12.2008 required by law, we submit the petition online in machine-readable form only to the appropriate district court. A side effect of this form of application is a considerable acceleration of the procedure compared to the submission of the application on the otherwise usual official form.
After service of the dunning notice, the debtor has two weeks to either pay your claim in full or to. If necessary, agree with us on payment deadlines for the settlement of the claim, or assert any objections to your claim by filing an objection to the default summons. If the debtor does not pay and does not lodge an objection, after the two-week period has expired, we will file a claim on your behalf
