Any general comments regarding process in Sweden for debt collection and how differs from UK / other countries in Europe
Regulations in Sweden are different from those in most other countries. If you have a Swedish business partner, you will probably be aware that their business culture differs from other cultures in many aspects. Our lawyers are fully versed in the regulations in Sweden, speak the language and are familiar with the business culture of Sweden, which is why we can achieve justice for the creditor in Sweden as well.
What is the debt collection process in Sweden?
You can apply three different stages in Sweden: Out of Court debt collection, In Court Debt Collection And Monitoring. Most of our clients usually starts their cases in Out of Court, where we start the process of Collection. After Approx. 40 days we switch phase to the juridical phase (In Court Debt Collection). Should the debtor not pay while in court, the case would go to monitoring. Our monitoring process should be looked at as a cloud where a customer’s case floats around until we see a change in the debtors economy. Once the change has been identified we will try to engage contact.
Our processes are mainly controlled by our advanced AI who controls the steps. This means that some debtors may need 4-7 letters while other, maybe younger debtors needs two phone calls and a text.

3-12 months
Can late payment fees / interest to be added to claims?

Details on legal service / process in Sweden?
Traditional litigation – proceedings in the District Courts, Appeal Courts and perhaps even the Supreme Court – requires a type of craftsmanship, which we have spent years perfecting. Success in litigation is as much about tactics, initiative and pedagogic ability as about the law. Based on your business interests, an assessment is made of the best way forward, both before and during a litigation process.
