Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

Chevron
HUF 29 990 + VAT +3% duty, which is also added to the claim.

The payment order is a notarial postal letter inviting the debtor to pay the claim, which will be enforceable when it becomes final, i.e. legally binding.

‍☝️ The use of this service does not guarantee the recovery of the claim, we guarantee that the case will be initiated and we will keep you informed of developments.

The debtor has 15 days from receipt to respond to the notary's summons. If you do not receive it first, they will try again in 5 days, if you still do not receive it, the 15 days will start, and after the 15th day, if no objection has been received, the notary will usually issue a final order for payment within a few days. This is the way to start the enforcement procedure through us (at an extra cost of 29 990 HUF + VAT + 1%)

Lead time?

Chevron
It takes 1 working day to start a case and ideally 1 month to receive your money (an additional 1-5 months if enforcement is requested)

Is there a law partner behind Payee?

Chevron
Yes, Payee is backed by a team of legal experts specialising in claims management to ensure legal certainty. " Our legal partners

What will you gain by this move?

Chevron
A formal, legally enforceable instrument, enforcement can be launched with a few clicks, its upfront costs are added to the claims, meaning that all costs are recovered if the recovery is successful.

What happens after the startup?

Chevron
The letter will reach the debtor within 10 days of the start of the procedure. The debtor has 15 days from receipt to respond to the notary's summons. If it is not received first, an attempt is made to serve it again after 5 days, if it is not received then the 15 days start, and after the 15th day, if no objection has been received, the notary usually issues the final payment order within a few days. This is the way to start the enforcement procedure through us (at an extra cost of 29 990 HUF + VAT + 1%)

Do I have to pay per account to start a case?

Chevron
No, you can combine invoices from the same customer into one case, provided they are from the same legal relationship. For example, if you have sold products to your customer on five separate invoices, you can open one case and include all five invoices, but if you have invoiced, for example, rent in addition to sales, you will need to open two separate cases for the product sales and the rent.

More about order for payment

Payee offers fast and efficient solutions for companies wishing to initiate an order for payment procedure (also known as an order for payment or OTP). If your partner or client fails to pay your debt on time, please contact us.

If you decide to entrust us with the management of your claim, you will not be caught by any unexpected surprises: we will provide you with detailed information on the procedures, costs and risks involved in each procedure, and you will always be kept up to date on the status of your case and what needs to be done. This way, nothing important is overlooked.

Our preliminary analysis also includes an overview of the debtor's solvency and an indication if the debtor company is in liquidation. If the debtor does not contest the claim or does not take delivery (for example, if the post office returns the document marked "not wanted" or the addressee "refused" to accept it), the order for payment becomes final and enforceable and you can get your money within a few weeks.

However, if the debtor contests the claim in the order for payment, the procedure turns into a lawsuit. In this case, the creditor must submit evidence of the case to the court and pay the court fee. We will not leave you in such a situation: we will put you in touch with our lawyer partners who will take over the management of your case so that you do not have to start all over again.

We have helped our clients successfully enforce their claims in thousands of cases. The order for payment procedure is a non-litigious procedure under the jurisdiction of a notary and is a fast and efficient means of recovering money. If you owe money, you can get it within a few weeks. "OAPO" is short for "order for payment" and its procedural rules are laid down in Act L of 2009.

We take it all off your shoulders 💭
