Focus on out of court settlements

Priority is always given to out of court recovery of your debts. Court hearings can be time-consuming and cost-intensive and very difficult to implement in many African countries. The actual outcome can often be disappointing too. In addition, many legal systems are said to be inefficient and corrupt. These problems are all across the Africa. For that reason Creditreform African debt recovery services focus on amicable, out of court settlements.

This makes the competence in the local market all the more important. Our African debt collector experts contact your debtors by email, post, telephone or, if necessary, by even visiting them personally in order to find acceptable solutions for both sides.

With their long-standing experience, our African debt recovery agency experts will do a thorough analysis of the financial situation of the debtor and all efforts will be made for a rapid collection of your outstanding claim. It is proven that monthly instalment plans as well as amicable settlements are effective. In order for this to happen local personal communication with the debtors is essential.

It is possible to take legal action via Creditreform but before initiating legal actions the costs will be calculated and any legal proceedings we will only be actioned once the creditors explicit approval has been obtained.

Countries and areas of the Africa are at a different level of maturity and there are many factors that affect the debt collection processes including:

Local regulations, Corruption, Lax Regulations, Infrastructure and lack of technology to name a few. All our local debt collection partners and offices are experts and the local knowledge which ensures achieving the highest potential success rate in recovering monies due to our clients.

It is also very important to act quickly and outsource the debts to us as soon as possible as this will ensure you have a much higher chance of a successful outcome. The sooner the case is in the hands of our local debt collection partner the quicker they can act on your behalf and locate, contact the debtors and recover monies due to you.
