Legal fields / Debt collection in Denmark

Debt collection in Denmark

Unpaid invoices pose a financial risk for companies. Danish debt collection law provides clear procedures for enforcing outstanding claims – from out-of-court reminders to foreclosure. We help companies to effectively collect debts and minimise bad debts.

We also advise you on debt collection in Germany – from out-of-court debt collection to enforcement.

Key aspects

The Danish debt collection system follows clear rules that differ from those in Germany. Companies must comply with legal requirements for dunning procedures and collection fees. If debtors do not pay, legal collection proceedings (Betalingspåkrav) can be initiated. We support you in the extrajudicial and judicial collection of outstanding debts, advise you on how to secure claims and enforce your rights quickly and efficiently – nationally and internationally.
