They usually\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>recover debts\u00a0<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>by favouring\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>amicable<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0solutions. These debt recovery professionals will guide you during the entire process by establishing a global strategy for managing your debts and planning regular\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>reminders<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0and different orders for\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>payments<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>. However, the secret of their success isn\u2019t a secret: it\u2019s about systematic, structured and positive communication with the debtor. The real limitation of the\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>debt recovery company<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0starts when the recovery process requires\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>legal<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0action, which concerns one per cent of the debts managed by TCM. In such cases, companies such as TCM collaborate closely with attorneys and bailiffs specialised in debt recovery, which means you don\u2019t have to involve more parties and can leave debt management to the debt recovery company during the entire process. As well, the debt recovery company usually works on a\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/tcm.be\/en\/debt-collection-costs-no-cure-no-charge\/\"><strong>no cure, no pay<\/strong><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0basis. This means that you will only pay a percentage of the actual amount collected and only when recovery has been successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bailiff<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The bailiff is a court officer, or rather a kind of independent official, specialised in court-ordered debt recovery. Their job gives them the monopoly on summons and other attachments of debts. But they can also handle an\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>amicable recovery<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>, that is, without needing a judge\u2019s decision. However, to call a spade a spade, communication with a bailiff is rarely perceived as smooth and positive by the debtor, your client. His intervention will more than likely tarnish your commercial relationship with this client. And it is known that one unhappy client will tell 10 other people of their mishap, while 10 happy clients will only tell one other party. Moreover, a bailiff has a duty of impartiality. They cannot defend you, as they must remain neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Attorney<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>attorney<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0is the\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>only<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0representative of your legal actions in court. Of course, before recommending that you go to\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>court<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p>, they will try to solve the problem directly with the debtor.
