    Wherever trade occurs on credit there is the risk of late payment or even

non-payment. Poor payment behaviour coupled with the diversity and complexity

of country specific debt collections procedures, legislation and cultural

approaches can be challenging for companies worldwide. As more than 35.1% of

the foreign B2B sales in Western Europe were reported to have been made on

credit, it is inevitable that some collection cases will end up being processed

in court or even filed via insolvency proceedings.

    Rudi De Greve, Global Operations Director at Atradius Collections stated:

"No business is immune to the risks associated with international trade or poor

payment behaviour. The International Debt Collections Handbook consists of

information gathered by our local experienced collectors and lawyers, making it

a trusted debt collections navigator tool."

    A crucial support tool for companies

    Since its launch in 2008, the International Debt Collections Handbook has

quickly established itself as a critical support tool for collection decisions

in foreign countries. Having knowledge of amicable collections and the

country-specific legal phases surrounding collections is vital for survival in

a global economy.

    When it comes to legal proceedings, there are considerable variations from

one country to another. The handbook will prove especially useful to

organisations lacking in-house resources in international collections or credit

management. This in-depth information can help businesses make better decisions

and take necessary measures beforehand, to minimise potential future risk.
