The 8th Edition of the International Debt Collection Handbook Now Includes Chile, Ukraine and South Africa

Amsterdam (ots/PRNewswire) -

Today Atradius Collections releases the new edition of the
International Debt Collection Handbook explaining the different
stages of amicable settlement, financial regulations around
collections, legal proceedings and insolvency procedures. The
handbook is useful for credit managers confronted with the diversity
and complexity of country-specific debt collections, now covering 38
countries, including Chile, Ukraine and South Africa.

International debt collection and country-specific legal systems
create challenges that affect every business. The International Debt
Collection Handbook has proven to be an invaluable, highly demanded
product for decision-makers in the collections and credit management
industry. It gives readers an overview of foreign debt collection
practices at country level. Rudi De Greve, Global Operations Director
at Atradius Collections, explains: "The amicable collection route
should always be the preferred option, however, taking legal actions
is sometimes required. In either case, the key is to respect local
ethics and the law. Only with local expertise can businesses ensure
they are following a professional and successful approach."

With insolvency levels peaking in many countries, selecting the
right approach to debt collection has become an even more important
factor for maintaining cash flow. Moreover, payment delays are common
and insolvency risks remain high, both negatively impacting cash
flow. A complex payment procedure in many cases results in foreign
payment delays.

As a global market player, Atradius Collections acknowledges the
importance of understanding local needs and being able to
operationalize at a local level as the key to successful debt
collection. Therefore Atradius Collections is planning on expanding
its geographical reach into new markets, strengthening its global
market position.

lawyers, making it a trusted international debt collections
navigator."
