Third-party debt collection (recovery) 20:57 Dec 11, 2019
First, context is needed, and we all should have begun by asking for it (despite Phil's very useful ref entry). @Asker, please, don't be shy.
Second, it seems the chief distinction in BEL (and FRA) is between debts that can be collected or recovered under a court judgement/order (titre exécutoire) and debts that are collected or recovered privately. As far as I can tell, that distinction isn't as prominent in the Anglosphere, where courts are brought in as a last resort (when creditors or collectors sue) and private debt collection or recovery is the norm.
The sentence in question relates to the private sort of debt collection/recovery, so in this case there's no need to distinguish between court-ordered debt collection and private debt collection, though that distinction may come in useful elsewhere in Asker's text.
So I think the simplest solution is to exapnd on the subtle yet apparent difference that seems to exist in the sector between debt collection and debt recovery. There are enough mentions of it online to suggest it isn't made up, however arbitrary it may sound. |
