Egypt Debt Collection – No Win No Fee
Creditreform operates a global specialist International debt collections service. We have local offices and fully approved expert international debt collection agency partners in every country worldwide. All our International debt collection agency partners and offices operate on a No Win No Fee basis charging an agreed commission against monies recovered only. All our international offices and partners initiate the collection processes by sending the debtors a debt collection letter to introduce their involvement.
In Egypt, debt collectors are normally lawyers rather than international debt collection agencies. The majority of debt cases relate to import and export with languages and documentation issues causing many problems and delays in payments. Utilising an expert in this field will not only improve the chances of a successful recovery but also help expedite the processes.
Our Egypt debt collection partner is very experienced in the collection processes and always endeavours to achieve a speedy transfer of outstanding amounts recovered to creditors. Their long standing professional techniques are very successful and they have the ability to restore working relationship between debtors and creditors. They are strong believers that is always best to try and resolve a debt collection dispute amicably rather than through a costly and often lengthy legal action. Therefore a greater effort is always made to communicate with the debtor, identify and resolve their issues quickly which will then result in a speedy successful resolution for all parties concerned. Also regular updated reports are sent to keep clients informed of all developments.
Main reasons why a local country debt recovery agency is so important rather than trying to recover from a debt collection agency UK are as follows:
The local International Debt collection Partners know:
The local cultures
The best methods of initiating debt recovery letters and processes
The languages
The laws
Are in the same time zones
