PRE-COURT SETTLEMENT
Debt recovery through negotiation — without going to court
We act as a negotiator and intermediary: we reach the debtor, take the heat out of the conflict and agree a repayment schedule that will actually be met. No claims, no bailiffs, no court costs. The debtor pays directly into your settlement account. Yekaterinburg and remotely.
When negotiation worksThe longer a debt sits, the harder it becomes to agree on it: the debtor stops replying, penalties pile up and the conversation quickly turns into mutual accusations. It usually makes sense to bring us in once the delay passes a month or six weeks and “we will transfer it next week” keeps being repeated. While the dispute has not gone to court, both sides still have room to agree — and that is the fastest route to the money: no court fee, no representative, no months of hearings and bailiffs, and no permanently ruined relationship with your counterparty. We review the paperwork, reach the debtor and look for terms they will genuinely honour. We assess the situation honestly: if the debtor is unreachable or objectively has nothing to pay with, we say so straight away, not after you have paid. |
What the service includes
We negotiate with the debtor from the first call to the moment the money lands in your settlement account
-
Reviewing the documents
We study the contract, acts, delivery notes and correspondence, calculate the debt with interest and penalties and give an honest view of whether negotiation is worth it. -
Preparing for the talks
We check the debtor against open sources, assess their ability to pay and work out our arguments and the concessions we can allow. -
Reaching the debtor
We get through to the person who actually decides on payment, find out the real reason for the delay and steer the conversation away from mutual accusations. -
Negotiation
We discuss the options: payment in full, instalments, partial repayment, set-off of counterclaims. We look for terms the debtor will actually meet. -
Putting the deal in writing
We record the outcome on paper: a repayment schedule, a letter of guarantee, dates and amounts. Verbal promises do not count. -
Monitoring and reporting
We track compliance with the schedule, chase payments and keep you informed. The debtor transfers the money directly into your settlement account.
How the negotiation works
We reach the debtor within a few days of receiving the documents, and the first results are usually visible in two to three weeks. After that the timing depends on the repayment schedule agreed.
-
1. Assessing the situation
We look at the documents and say plainly whether negotiation makes sense and how long it is likely to take. Hopeless cases we decline. -
2. Preparation
We check the debtor, find the people who decide on payment and work out our arguments. We agree with you in advance what concessions are acceptable. -
3. First contact
We approach the debtor on your behalf: calmly, without threats or pressure. We find out the real reason for the delay — more often than not it can be solved. -
4. Negotiation
We narrow the gap and discuss the options: payment in full, instalments, partial repayment, set-off of counterclaims. The goal is a deal the debtor will actually honour. -
5. The agreement
We put the outcome on paper: payment dates, amounts and the consequences of default. You sign the agreement with the debtor directly. -
6. Money in your account
The debtor transfers the money straight into your settlement account, bypassing us. We monitor the schedule, react to any default and stay involved until the debt is cleared.
PRICING
What the negotiation costs
Our fee is 20% of the debt amount plus a small fixed part for handling the negotiations, agreed before we start (plus VAT at 5%). The main part — the percentage — is paid after the money from the debtor reaches your account; the final terms depend on the size of the debt, the age of the delay and the state of the documents, and are fixed in the contract. Send us a description of the situation in the form below — we will assess the prospects and quote terms free of charge. Work outside the scope of the assignment is 5 000 ₽ per hour plus 5% VAT. The debtor pays straight into your settlement account: we do not accept payments from debtors and take no part in the settlements. Our fee is paid separately, against a statement of work, once the money has actually arrived. We do not litigate, represent clients in court or work with bailiffs — pre-court negotiation only; if no agreement can be reached, we hand over everything we have collected so you can pass the case to a lawyer. We work only with debts owed by companies and sole traders; we do not carry out the recovery of overdue debts of private individuals under Federal Law No. 230-FZ.
Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions about recovering debts without court
How much does the work cost?
Our fee is 20% of the debt amount plus a small fixed part agreed before we start (plus VAT at 5%); the percentage is paid after the money reaches your account. Work outside the scope of the assignment is billed separately at 5,000 ₽ per hour plus 5% VAT. You do not pay for the assessment of the prospects.
Do you handle cases in court?
No. We only do pre-court work: negotiating with the debtor and settling the debt without litigation. We do not file claims, attend hearings or work with bailiffs. If the talks fail, we hand over everything we have collected so you can pass the case to a lawyer.
Whose account does the money go through?
Yours. The debtor transfers the money directly into your settlement account — we neither accept payments from debtors nor take part in the settlements. Our fee is paid separately, against a statement of work, once the money has actually arrived.
How long do the talks take?
We reach the debtor within a few days of receiving the documents, and the first results are usually visible in two to three weeks. After that the timing depends on the repayment schedule agreed.
What if the debtor refuses to talk?
It happens. We look for other routes to the person who decides, work on the arguments and give the debtor a reason to talk: a workable schedule is usually better for them than an open dispute. If there is genuinely no contact at all, we say so honestly instead of dragging the work out.
Which debtors do you work with?
Corporate debtors only — legal entities and sole traders. We do not carry out the recovery of overdue debts of private individuals under Federal Law No. 230-FZ.
How is this different from strong-arm debt collection?
In every way. We work only through negotiation, within the law, with no pressure, threats or visits. Our job is to find terms both sides can live with and to put them in writing.
