Debt collection agency Luxembourg. Where the debtor banks, the money can be frozen.

French- and German-speaking collectors recover unpaid B2B invoices from Luxembourg companies. A payment order (ordonnance de paiement) handles undisputed claims, and attachment of bank accounts reaches funds held in one of Europe's banking centers. No cure, no fee.

The route in Luxembourg

How a debt is recovered in Luxembourg.

You approve every escalation. Nothing is filed without your written consent.

Day 0

Demand in French

A collector in Luxembourg serves a formal mise en demeure. Between businesses, late interest runs at the ECB reference rate plus 8 percentage points, with a €40 fixed recovery cost per invoice.

Day 1

Registry check

Luxembourg Business Registers show the debtor's filings. Many debtors are holding or financing companies, so we identify where assets and bank accounts actually sit.

Payment order

Ordonnance de paiement

For an undisputed money claim, a payment order is sought from the Justice of the Peace or, for larger claims, the president of the district court.

Objection window

Contredit

The debtor can contest the order within 15 days of service. Without a challenge, the order becomes enforceable. A challenge moves the case into ordinary proceedings.

Enforcement

Bank attachment

A huissier de justice enforces the title. Attachment of bank accounts (saisie-arrêt) is especially effective in Luxembourg. Recovered funds reach you within 48 hours of receipt.

Questions

Collecting in Luxembourg: what creditors ask.

How does debt collection work in Luxembourg?+

A collector in Luxembourg contacts the debtor in French or German with a formal mise en demeure. If that fails, a payment order (ordonnance de paiement) is sought for undisputed claims, and judgments are enforced by a huissier de justice, often through attachment of bank accounts.

What interest can I claim from a Luxembourg debtor?+

Between businesses, Luxembourg applies the EU Late Payment Directive: late interest at the ECB reference rate plus 8 percentage points, and a €40 fixed recovery cost per invoice.

Can you collect from a Luxembourg holding company?+

Yes. Many Luxembourg debtors are holding or financing companies. We check the company registers to see who controls the debtor and where it holds assets, then use bank attachment where the funds are.

Which language is used with Luxembourg debtors?+

French is the usual language for formal demands and court proceedings, and German is widely used in business. Our collectors write in the language the debtor works in.

How much does debt collection in Luxembourg cost?+

No cure, no fee. The success fee is agreed in writing before work begins and is due only on amounts recovered. Court and bailiff costs, where a case needs them, are quoted and approved separately.

Briefing

The legal landscape in Luxembourg.

General information for B2B creditors, not legal advice. Every case is reviewed by local counsel before court action.

A small jurisdiction with deep pockets+

Luxembourg hosts a large number of holding, financing and fund companies. For a creditor, that means the debtor often has bank accounts in the country even when its operations are elsewhere, and those accounts can be reached.

The payment order+

The ordonnance de paiement is a written procedure for undisputed money claims. The judge issues the order on the documents, and the debtor has 15 days after service to contest it. Unchallenged, it becomes enforceable.

Interest and recovery costs+

Luxembourg applies the EU Late Payment Directive in business-to-business transactions: late interest at the ECB reference rate plus 8 percentage points, and a €40 fixed recovery cost per late invoice.

Enforcement through attachment+

Bailiffs (huissiers de justice) enforce titles. Attachment of sums held by third parties, particularly banks, is a central tool in Luxembourg and often ends a dispute quickly. As an EU member, Luxembourg also applies the European Payment Order for cross-border claims.

Your debtor is in Luxembourg. So is your collector.
