There are collection costs that are charged over the principal sum, how does this work?

The amount in our notice is the amount you have to pay to BVCM. This amount includes the principal sum, legal interest and collection fees. The amount of collection costs differs between private persons and business.
 
Private person:
As of the 1st of July 2012, the collection costs are determined by law. The law provides a percentage scale for determining the collection fees. This percentage is based on the principial amount.

Scale of collection fees:
 

Principle amount up to €2500  15% with a minimum of €40
The next €2 500     10%
The next €5 000   5%
The next €190 000   1% 
Everything above   0.5% with a maximum of € 6.775,00 

For Business:
For the calculation of the extrajudicial collection costs of companies, the general terms and conditions of the creditor are decisive for the amount of the collection costs. Usually, a percentage of 15% with a minimum of € 75.00 is used. If nothing is laid down in the general terms and conditions about the amount of the collection costs, the collection costs will be calculated 

I want a payment plan, how should I go about this?
If you are not able to pay the demand at once it is, under strict conditions, possible to make a payment plan. The amount of installments depends on the outstanding amount and your financial situation. Contact BVCM by phone or email to discuss the possibilities, together with you we will then look for a suitable solution. After an agreement has been reached, we will send you a confirmation of the payment plan by e-mail or post.
 
NOTE: The terms of payment plan are set up under strict conditions. If BVCM does not receive the payment then the payment plan will be canceled. 
What happens if I don’t pay?
If you refuse to pay after multiple notices from BVCM, then we reserve the rights to start the legal procedure on behalf of our client. If you receive a subpoena, and the court comes to a verdict that you need to pay, it is most likely that you are being charged with the legal fees. If no payment occurs after the notification of judgment we can requisition your salary, bank accounts or assets. We strive to prevent a legal procedure, unfortunately, there are cases in which this situation is impossible to avoid.   
I have paid to BVCM's client already and now I am receiving a notice, what should I do?
It is possible that handing over the demand and your payment to our client have crossed each other. If you send a proof of payment we will investigate what happened to the payment. You can send the proof of payment to BVCM by email.
On behalf of who is BVCM sending me a demand?
We work for a wide variety of (inter)national clients. Our letters always contain the name of our client.
