Kreedix / Creditors
You have a judgment. How can it become a payment?
If the debtor does not comply with an enforceable document, we help prepare an enforcement application and monitor the case. These Kreedix services are free for our clients. A bailiff carries out compulsory enforcement.
Ask for enforcement help ↗Before applying
Enforcement requires an enforceable document, such as an effective or immediately enforceable judgment, payment order or notarial agreement consenting to immediate enforcement. An invoice, contract or reminder alone is not such a document.
If you do not yet have one, we assess a payment order or civil claim. If you do, we check the outstanding balance and next steps.
Court debt collection ↗Kreedix help
A judgment does not itself mean money has arrived.
We review the enforceable document, debtor information and payments already received.
We prepare a signable application and attachments. The choice of bailiff depends on location and assets.
We track information and payments and help pass relevant details to the bailiff. The bailiff decides and carries out enforcement measures.
Alongside enforcement
If the debtor has no money or assets, a bailiff may not recover the claim immediately. If publication conditions are met, we recommend considering payment-default publication in Inforegister as an additional step.
Visibility in business background information may encourage payment or an agreement. Publication cannot guarantee recovery.
Payment-default publication ↗Kreedix price
Kreedix charges its client nothing for preparing the enforcement application and monitoring the case. Statutory bailiff fees are separate and are generally borne by the debtor.
A bailiff may nevertheless request an advance on fees or enforcement costs from the creditor. A fee advance is returned if the bailiff recovers the full fee from the debtor; it is generally not returned if the case closes without recovery. Withdrawal may create further costs.
Calculate statutory bailiff fees ↗Bailiff fee calculator
Enter the monetary claim. The calculator separates the statutory main fee, initiation fee and possible creditor advance.
An advance is a possible temporary outgoing amount, not a third fee added to the debtor's total. Actual expenses and additional fees depend on the work performed.
For an ordinary monetary claim. Special rules may apply to mortgage-secured claims over €150,000, maintenance, non-monetary claims and specific measures. Partial recovery reduces the main fee proportionately. The bailiff determines the final fees and advance. The calculator adds 24% VAT. Bailiffs Act §§ 30–35 ↗
