Short answer
The costs of out-of-court recovery. They are capped according to the size of the claim.
Explanation
For payment claims that arose on or after 1 July 2024, the executive order on out-of-court collection costs sets caps according to the size of the claim. When a debt collection agency or a lawyer collects, the debtor pays, for example, at most DKK 500 excluding VAT for a claim of up to DKK 1,000, and DKK 2,700 for a claim of DKK 25,001 to 50,000. For claims over DKK 500,000 the cap is DKK 7,700 plus 1% of the excess. The costs can only be claimed if the debtor first received a letter with a deadline of at least 10 days and a warning of further costs.
