Are you dealing with a client or customer who refuses to pay? Are invoices consistently being ignored or does payment remain outstanding despite reminders? A debt collection attorney from Arslan Advocaten helps you collect outstanding claims quickly, legally, and effectively.
Unpaid invoices are not only frustrating but can also pose a serious threat to your liquidity. That is precisely why it is important to act promptly and decisively.
When should you engage a debt collection attorney?
Many entrepreneurs initially try to collect debts themselves. That is understandable but not always wise. A debt collection attorney is typically engaged when:
- invoices remain unpaid after multiple reminders;
- the debtor disputes payment without valid reason;
- large amounts are involved;
- your client is a habitual defaulter;
- you want to proceed with court proceedings.
An attorney has more legal leverage than a regular collection agency and can escalate directly to the court.
Business debt collection: firm but professional
Business debt collection is about more than just enforcing payment. Relationships, reputation, and continuity often also play a role. As debt collection attorneys, we assess:
- the legal validity of the claim;
- the contractual agreements;
- the evidentiary position;
- the recovery options.
Based on this, we determine the right strategy: amicable where possible, litigation where necessary.
From demand letter to court proceedings
A debt collection process often starts with a legal demand letter. In many cases, this already leads to payment. If payment still remains outstanding, we can:
- initiate court proceedings;
- attach assets;
- enforce a court order for payment.
We guide you through the entire process so you can continue to focus on your business.
Debt collection in cases of breach of contract and non-performance
Non-payment often goes hand in hand with breach of contract. Think of buyers who do not honor agreements or suppliers who cause damage. In such cases, we look not only at the debt collection but also at:
- damages;
- dissolution of the agreement;
- additional claims.

Litigation funding for debt collection
For larger or complex debt collection cases, litigation funding may provide a solution. This means that an external litigation funder pays the attorney fees and often also the court fees and other costs.
If litigation funding is granted, you as the client bear no net costs. This makes litigation possible without financial risk. We are happy to assess whether your case is suitable for this.
Why a debt collection attorney rather than a collection agency?
The difference is significant. A debt collection attorney:
- can litigate directly;
- has in-depth legal knowledge;
- can counter complex defenses;
- thinks strategically about next steps.
At Arslan Advocaten, you choose legal strength and results.
Costs of a debt collection attorney
The costs of a debt collection attorney depend on the case. In many cases, collection costs, interest, and (a portion of) the attorney fees are recovered from the debtor. We always discuss transparently in advance what you can expect.
