Goods delivered, invoice overdue, the buyer in Sweden silent. This page explains how a B2B claim is collected in Sweden, how long it takes, and which interest and costs can be charged to the debtor. Incasso Mentor sets up and runs this process on your behalf: we choose the right route, bring in the local specialist, follow every step and report to you in Turkish. You only take the decisions. Information as of September 2026.
The four figures that matter most to a Turkish exporter. Fees and rates change; before any legal step we confirm the current figures with our partner.
Reminder on day 7–14, inkassokrav on day 21–28 (10 days), final demand on day 35–45. Most undisputed Swedish files are paid in this cycle. Agencies are supervised by Finansinspektionen.
Application to Kronofogden; without objection an enforceable title. No lawyer needed, fee SEK 300.
Tingsrätt: simplified procedure up to SEK 29,400 (SEK 900, limited cost recovery), ordinary above (SEK 2,800, costs recoverable); 6–12 months. A lawyer is not mandatory but advisable.
Kronofogden (state authority, no private bailiffs): movable, bank, wage, real-estate and third-party attachment, asset search; SEK 600 case fee per year. In bankruptcy the tingsrätt appoints a trustee; low recovery for unsecured creditors.
Collecting a debt in a foreign country on your own is exhausting: language, law, finding the right firm, negotiating fees, not missing deadlines. This is exactly where Incasso Mentor comes in. We review your file, obtain an independent credit report on the debtor and determine the most suitable route for Sweden.
Then we set up the process: we select the registered agency or lawyer in Sweden, hand over a complete and well-prepared file, fix the fee on your behalf in advance and follow every step. You work with one contact, in your own language. Every decision is yours; no step is taken without your approval.
You: send us the invoice, contract and delivery documents.
We: assess the file, obtain the credit report and report the route and cost to you in writing.
We: select and brief the local specialist in Sweden, fix the fee and watch the deadlines.
We: report every development in Turkish and answer your questions.
You: take the decision at every stage. Legal steps only with your approval.
A single state authority issues the order for payment and enforces it; no lawyer or court needed. A foreign creditor may file itself under Swedish procedural rules; we run this with our partner.
Collection costs chargeable to the debtor are capped by law (SEK 60/180/170). The lever is not the cost but the fast enforceable title.
The European order for payment and small claims are closed to non-EU claimants; the national Kronofogden route is faster anyway. Language Swedish, sworn translations required.
Amicable phase 30–90 days, unopposed order for payment 4–6 weeks; a defended case at the tingsrätt 6–12 months.
No legal requirement at any stage; advisable in case of a defence, high amounts or jurisdiction issues.
A Swedish judgment is enforced in the EU under Brussels I-bis; in Turkey tenfiz is needed. A Turkish judgment needs separate recognition in Sweden; suing in Sweden is the efficient route.
Share your invoice and the basic documents. We review the file and report the route in Sweden and the expected cost to you in writing, in Turkish; the rest we plan together. B2B, from €20,000 per debtor.
