General
In banking terms, collection means that securities (such as bills of lading ) or means of payment (such as checks or bills of exchange ) are taken over by credit institutions from the bank customer and then presented to the issuer or debtor for the purpose of redeeming or crediting the equivalent value . Collection is banking within the meaning of Section 1 (1) No. 9 KWG , where it is described as “cashless check collection” ( check collection business ) and “bill collection” ( bill collection business ). Checks and bills of exchange are no longer relevant today, so that the only collection task in banking is document collection .

"Simple" debt collection
The collection of payment papers such as direct debits , checks , bills of exchange , interest coupons and dividend coupons as well as debt securities due is the collection business of credit institutions .
When delivery is also a collection is based. According to Section 422 of the German Commercial Code, it must be assumed in the freight business that the invoice amount is to be collected in cash or in the form of an equivalent means of payment if the contracting parties have agreed that the freight may only be delivered to the recipient against collection of cash on delivery. The carrier acts as a collection agency.
The legal basis often results from the legal requirements for the agency agreement (collection order) from the §§ 675 ff. BGB and for incorporating Conditions of the §§ 305 ff. BGB.
Document collection
Document collection is the collection of payments from credit institutions on the basis of commercial papers or a combination of commercial and payment papers.
Debt collection service
- Germany
If the collection of third-party claims is carried out as an independent business, there is a legal service requiring a permit ( Section 10 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 No. 1 in conjunction with Section 2 Paragraph 2 Clause 1 RDG ). Exceptions to this are ancillary services that are related to another activity ( Section 5 (1) RDG).
When moving on its own behalf, it is only a collection, if after the assignment of the claim purchaser ( transferee to) proceeds to the old creditor ( assignor ) dissipates. It is then either a Inkassozession based on an agency agreement with service character before ( § 675 , § 611 ff. BGB) or if in the context of financing by non-genuine factoring the receivables purchaser ( Factor ) not the full economic risk of recovery of the claim of the old creditor ( Customer ) takes over. The collection association is an assignment solely for the purpose of legitimizing the new creditor ( assignee ) to collect the claim. In relation to the debtor , the assignee has the full rights of the obligee; in relation to the old obligee ( assignor ), he is merely a contractor who is obliged to surrender the proceeds to the assignor; contract law applies .
Another form is the power of attorney to collect , which only authorizes the proxy to collect claims from the debtor on behalf of the creditor who gives the power of attorney (§ 2 Paragraph 2 Alt. 1 RDG).
