Code of Conduct

Through the Code of Conduct, member companies undertake to establish rules for debt collection services that in some cases go beyond the statutory requirements. By doing this they aim to meet their responsibilities within the debt collection sector.

The Code of Conduct was unanimously adopted at the AGM. It covers the entire life cycle of a receivable, from acceptance of the collection order and communication with defaulting payers to other obligations related to the processing of payments and the handling of complaints and queries. Kirsten Pedd was the driving force behind its development.
