What is the debt collection process in Palau? 

We file suit as soon as possible after I receive the referral - usually within a week.  After a judgment is obtained, either by stipulation or default, the court will issue a payment order, either upon stipulation or upon motion.  The order is enforceable through contempt proceedings.  Most debtors do not have property amenable to a writ of execution, although that is occasionally used. 

Average length of time to collect a debt? 

The average time taken to recover a Palau B2B debt collection case varies from case to case. This depends on a number of factors, the biggest one being the debtor's ability to pay.  I have cases that settle as soon as the defendant is served with process.  I also have judgments that are 25 years old and that will probably never be paid in full. 

Can late payment fees / interest to be added to claims? 

Late payment fees and pre-judgment interest are generally allowable if specifically provided for in the contract between the parties.  The maximum rate enforceable in our courts is generally 12% p/a.  Post-judgment interest is fixed by statute at 9% p/a.
