An unanswered demand letter is where we begin, not where we stop.

A recovery practice built the other way round: we are not retained by the retailer, we are retained against it. Our client is the consumer, in the Netherlands, across Europe and beyond.

A recovery practice that is genuinely on your side

Almost every collection agency is retained by a business and then writes to a consumer. This firm is built the other way round.

The conventional collection agency

Paid by the business

The instructing party is the retailer, the supplier or the lender.

Writes to the consumer

The letter lands on a private individual’s doormat, not on the company’s.

Puts the costs on the consumer

Collection costs and interest are added on top of the principal, payable by the individual.

Succeeds when the consumer pays

The purpose of the file is to extract money from a private individual.

Hartmann Juris

Paid by the counterparty

We recover our costs from the business in default, under article 6:96 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Writes to the business

Our demand goes to the director of the retailer, by name, at the registered business address.

It costs you nothing

Our fee is set off only against what we actually recover.

Succeeds when the consumer gets their money back

That is the only outcome this firm is judged on.
