Short answer
A business that collects debts for others. Requires authorisation from Rigspolitiet. Lawyers are exempt.
Explanation
The authorisation requirement is in section 3 of the Debt Collection Act. Rigspolitiet keeps a list of authorised debt collection agencies, so you can check whether an agency is allowed to collect debts. The agency must follow good debt collection practice, and its costs must not exceed the caps in the executive order on out-of-court collection costs.
