Hungarian-speaking collectors recover unpaid B2B invoices from Hungarian companies. When a debtor stalls, a fizetési meghagyás filed with a notary turns an undisputed invoice into an enforceable title. No cure, no fee.
Megbízónk nevében eljárva felszólítjuk a lejárt tartozás megfizetésére.
A tartozás után a jegybanki alapkamat plusz 8 százalékpont késedelmi kamat és 40 euró behajtási költségátalány jár.
Kérjük, 8 napon belül fizessen. Ennek elmaradása esetén fizetési meghagyásos eljárást indítunk.
The first demand your debtor receives: in its own language, under its own law, from a collector in Hungary.
You approve every escalation. Nothing is filed without your written consent.
A collector in Hungary serves a formal fizetési felszólítás on the debtor. Between businesses, late interest runs at the central bank base rate plus 8 percentage points, and a €40 fixed recovery cost applies per invoice.
Direct contact with the company's management, in Hungarian. Payment plans are documented in writing so they can be enforced if they fail.
The claim is filed electronically with a Hungarian notary. For smaller money claims this is the compulsory route; for larger ones it remains available and fast.
The debtor has 15 days to object (ellentmondás). Without an objection, the order becomes final and carries the same force as a court judgment. An objection moves the case to court.
An independent court bailiff (végrehajtó) enforces the title: bank account garnishment and seizure of assets. Recovered funds reach you within 48 hours of receipt.
No registration fee, no retainer. The success fee is agreed in writing before work starts and is due only on money actually recovered.
Court, notary, bailiff or counsel costs in Hungary are quoted in writing and incurred only with your approval.
Recovered amounts are remitted to your account within 48 hours of receipt, with a settlement statement. Every step is visible in Haka AI.
A collector in Hungary contacts the debtor in Hungarian with a formal payment demand. If that fails, a payment order (fizetési meghagyás) is filed with a notary. If the debtor does not object within 15 days, the order becomes enforceable and a court bailiff can seize assets.
Between businesses, Hungarian law sets late payment interest at the central bank base rate plus 8 percentage points, plus a €40 fixed recovery cost per invoice, in line with the EU Late Payment Directive.
An objection (ellentmondás) converts the payment order procedure into ordinary court proceedings. Your file, already documented for the payment order, becomes the basis of the lawsuit, handled by local counsel with costs approved by you first.
Yes. Hungary applies the European Payment Order and the European Small Claims Procedure for cross-border claims. For most cases the Hungarian domestic payment order is faster, so we choose the route case by case.
No cure, no fee. The success fee is agreed in writing before work begins and is due only on amounts recovered. Notary and court fees, where a case needs them, are quoted and approved separately.
General information for B2B creditors, not legal advice. Every case is reviewed by local counsel before court action.
Hungary routes money claims through an order for payment procedure run by notaries rather than judges. The filing is electronic and the notary does not examine the merits: the order is issued on the claim as filed and served on the debtor. For smaller claims the procedure is compulsory; above that threshold creditors can still choose it. Because the debtor must actively object to stop it, a well-documented claim against a debtor with no real defense tends to become enforceable quickly.
Hungary transposed the EU Late Payment Directive into its Civil Code. In business-to-business contracts, late interest accrues at the Hungarian central bank base rate plus 8 percentage points, and a creditor is entitled to a €40 fixed recovery cost per late invoice. These amounts are added to the demand from the first letter.
Once a payment order is final, independent court bailiffs carry out enforcement. The tools include garnishment of bank accounts and seizure of movable and real property. A company that cannot pay an undisputed debt also faces the risk of a liquidation petition, which often prompts payment.
Proceedings and correspondence run in Hungarian. A demand from a Hungarian collector, citing Hungarian law, is taken far more seriously than a letter from abroad in English.
Your debtor is in Hungary. So is your collector.
