A. collection files

In case of full collection of the claim, you will be refunded the principal sum and any writ charges.

The balance will be kept as a fee. You will then owe us nothing!

If only the principal sum or part thereof is collected, only an amount of 10% will be charged on the funds already received by way of fees, with a minimum of EUR 75.00 + 21% VAT. For claims over EUR 25,000.00 the commission will be reduced to 9% and for claims over EUR 50,000.00 to 7%.

If nothing can be collected (e.g. due to failure, official deletion or rejection of the claim by default, etc.), you will only be charged a fixed dossier cost of 75.00 euro + 21% VAT. However, this can be reviewed if the claim is lower than 500.00 euro, in which case the administrative costs will be reduced to only 50.00 euro + 21% VAT.

If proceedings have to be instituted outside Antwerp or abroad, any costs charged by our lawyers will be passed on to you on the spot. Naturally, we will always inform you in advance of these charges, as they vary from country to country.

In the event of failure, we will also, if necessary, take care of the filing of the declaration of claim and further follow-up for a flat fee of EUR 150.00 + 21% VAT.
