Short answer
Recovering unpaid claims.
Explanation
Debt collection covers both the creditor's own recovery and recovery through a debt collection agency or a lawyer, out of court or through the courts. Before any other collection steps, the debtor must receive a collection notice under section 10 of the Debt Collection Act with a deadline of at least 10 days. Collecting debts for others requires authorisation from Rigspolitiet.
