Debt collection in Norway Autor vlákna: Ramunas Kontrimas

Hi,
A first-time translation client appears to be not willing to pay after 4 months, numerous reminders and a few promises to pay. It is a communications firm in Norway. Does anyone here have any experience with debt collection in Norway?
Thanks

You can start to threaten with inkasso (debt collection) unless you receive payment within 14 days. After that period you will have to contact a debt collection agency. Costs will accumulate for the debtor if the process continues, and will run up to 500 eur in a few months. The good thing is that the debtor should pay all the collection costs.
The only doubt I have is that the debtor might say that the claim is invalid. If that is the case, you need to prove it (P.O./mail etc.)...

Well, I would advise you first to address official letter to their company.
If you have a PO (purchase order) attach all paper and emails, communication..attach all that papers to your official letter as a proof.
I hope this could help you and this non payment happen to all of us - working distantly ...

You've had some good Norway-specific help, but this step above is always good to have under your belt. You can find all sorts of help for wording a final demand on the web. Make it short, to the point, and formal: you ordered; I supplied; you need to pay nnn.nn by xx/xx/xxxx or else!
It needs to be written on actual paper and sent to their registered address by registered post so that you get back proof of delivery. That signature (or non-acceptance slip) is your proof that they knew about the debt at that date, so they can't turn round in court and say their email address had been hacked, etc.
It sounds as though the system works well in Norway, so hopefully it will work for you.

They've ignored my last emails and SMS, so I'm turning to a debt collection agency now. Hope, I can resolve it somehow.
I don't have a proper PO, just an email confirmation of the rate, go-ahead and receipt of my translation and invoice.
Thank you all for support
