In short

What does it mean to submit a claim for debt collection?

Submitting a claim means handing an outstanding, unpaid claim to a licensed debt collection institute that collects it for you. At incaseof.law you submit the claim online in just a few minutes, we take care of the collection, and 100% of the principal claim belongs in your account.

You have already earned the money. Instead of sending more reminders yourself and losing weeks, you hand the claim to a licensed partner and get your money back, without having to become a legal expert.

The right moment

When should you submit a claim for collection?

As soon as your customer is in default and a reminder has gone unanswered, you can hand the claim over. There is no required number of reminders, in practice a single unsuccessful one is enough.

The earlier you act, the higher the chance that you will still recover your money in full. With every week an outstanding claim is left lying, willingness to pay drops and the risk grows that the debtor becomes insolvent. An early, clear demand from a licensed debt collection institute is taken more seriously than the fifth reminder from your own office, which is why a large share of cases is resolved out of court.

There is no lower limit. Whether 80 euros from a small invoice or 80,000 euros from a project: because the effort for you is minimal and the default costs are borne by the debtor, submitting a claim is worthwhile even for small and single claims. You do not have to wait until a large amount has built up. Typical triggers are a customer who no longer responds to reminders, recurring partial payments that keep pushing out the open balance, or simply too many open items to chase each one by phone.

What it costs

100% of the claim for you. What does it cost to submit a claim?

The most common worry before submitting a claim is paying more in the end than comes back. At incaseof.law that worry does not exist: your principal claim belongs 100% to you.

Who pays the collection costs?

The collection costs arising from the payment default are borne, as a rule, by the defaulting debtor who did not settle the claim on time, not by you as the creditor. Your principal claim is not touched by this. You keep the full amount your customer owes you, 100% without deductions. No success fee, no commission, no platform fee.

That sets us apart from the widespread commission model, where a share of your claim is withheld. This is not about small change, it is about your claim staying with you in full. Even high collection costs change nothing about the fact that your principal claim belongs entirely to you.

Who can submit

From the solo entrepreneur to the private individual.

Debt collection is not just for large companies. At incaseof.law there is no minimum volume, you can submit a single invoice just as easily as hundreds of open items.

Companies and self-employed

Whether solo entrepreneur, freelancer, small business, SME or company with system integration: you submit individual claims or hand over open items in bulk through the connector. More on this for debt collection for the self-employed and collecting outstanding claims as a company.

Private individuals

You can submit a private outstanding claim as well, for example from a private sale, a loan or an unpaid service. You need neither a company nor a minimum volume, the process is the same: submit, we collect, the money arrives in your account.

Whether you submit a single invoice or many open items, the process stays the same. Companies with a high volume of claims connect their accounting or ERP through the connector and hand over open items automatically, instead of uploading each invoice individually. To submit a claim, all you need is a due, verifiable claim and the related details: invoice or claim amount, date and the debtor's details.

The difference

incaseof.law or a traditional collection agency.

The practical difference: you lose no time on sales and contract negotiation, your claim is not reduced by a commission, and with a licensed institute confirmed by the Austrian Supreme Court (OGH) you have a partner whose demands carry legal weight. That is exactly what traditional models lack, models built around phone collection and mass business that often do not accept single claims or private individuals at all.

What happens if the debtor still does not pay?

If the debtor does not respond out of court, we initiate the judicial order-for-payment procedure and obtain an enforceable title, digitally through electronic legal communication. We then manage the enforcement. You do not have to organise the transition between stages yourself, we take care of that automatically.

Does my customer relationship stay intact?

Yes. As a licensed debt collection institute, we communicate with your customers in a factual and legally sound way. The goal is payment, not escalation.
