Short answer
At most DKK 100 per reminder, for at most 3 reminders, at least 10 days apart.
Explanation
The rule is in section 9 b of the Interest Act and applies to both consumers and businesses. If the fee is higher, or the reminders were sent closer together, the debtor can dispute that part of the claim. The fee can only be charged when a reminder has actually been sent.
