International recovery
Cross-border recovery, handled where the debtor actually is
Debt that crosses a border changes character. UDRA coordinates vetted local professionals in the debtor's own jurisdiction while you keep one point of contact and one reporting standard.
Global recovery challenges
Why cross-border files stall
Domestic recovery assumptions rarely survive contact with a foreign jurisdiction.
Different legal frameworks
Permitted contact methods, limitation periods and the practical value of a judgment all differ by market.
Language and register
Correspondence in the wrong language, or the wrong register, is dismissed before it is read.
Coordination overhead
Managing several foreign agents directly consumes internal time and produces inconsistent reporting.
Currency and remittance
Recovered funds must be converted, transferred and reconciled transparently across borders.
Our international approach
Central oversight, local execution
UDRA retains ownership of the file, the strategy and the client relationship. Execution is delivered by professionals who operate in the debtor's market every day and understand what actually produces payment there.
- One UDRA case handler across every jurisdiction involved
- Vetted local recovery agencies and law firms, engaged file by file
- Debtor engagement in the local language and business register
- Jurisdiction-specific assessment before any escalation decision
- Certified translation of documentation where required
- Consolidated reporting to a single UDRA standard
Multi-jurisdiction coordination
Compliance considerations
Local recovery rules
Contact frequency, permitted hours and disclosure requirements are observed as they apply in the debtor's jurisdiction.
Data protection
Personal data is transferred and processed under the protections applicable to both the client and the debtor market.
Sanctions and screening
Counterparties and payment routes are screened before engagement where the exposure requires it.
Anti-money-laundering
Funds flows are documented and reconciled, with source and destination evidenced.
