Debt recovery in Germany
When asked about recovering debt in Germany, Vivienne advises that it’s best to speak with your debtor first, remaining calm and professional at all times. Generally, German companies like to pay on time and deliver on what they have promised. However, if a company fails to make payment or stick to a payment plan, you should immediately engage the services of a debt recovery lawyer.
With a precise, methodical attitude and approachable nature, Vivienne ensures that creditors are aware of their rights and what they are entitled too; fighting for them to receive justice.
