A Dubai-registered B2B collection agency working for creditors abroad. Amicable recovery first, then the payment order under Federal Decree-Law 42/2022, in onshore or DIFC courts. You never fly here. We are already here.
Case desk open · Dubai · GST +4Dubai DCA is a Dubai-registered B2B collection agency working for creditors outside the UAE. We recover commercial debts from UAE companies through negotiation first, then the payment order (Amr Al Ada') under Federal Decree-Law 42/2022, in onshore or DIFC courts depending on the contract. Commercial claims carry a 10-year limitation. Fees are contingent: no recovery, no fee.
You shipped to a Dubai trading company, the invoice is 140 days old, and the emails stopped six weeks ago. Your bank cannot help and your lawyer at home cannot serve papers here. Fifty-eight per cent of the files we open for overseas creditors settle before a court sees them, because the demand arrives bilingual, on local letterhead, from an office ten minutes from the debtor. Here is how the first sixty days go, and what happens if they don't.
Before the first call we pull the debtor's licence from the Dubai DED or the free-zone registry (DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC). Active, expired, under liquidation, or a fresh licence with the same directors changes everything about the next fifty-nine days.
How we verify a UAE company →Bilingual, from a Dubai address, quoting the contract, the invoices and the interest the court would award. Foreign letterhead gets filed. Local letterhead gets answered, usually by the CFO, usually within a week.
Calls in Arabic and English, a meeting at their office if they are in Dubai, the cheque question raised at exactly the right moment. Day 60 ends in one of three ways: funds, a signed instalment plan, or a payment order filed with your documents already in order.
Yes for the amicable stage, which is where most files close. Court filings need UAE-licensed representation, which we arrange inside the same file, on the same contingency terms.
Typically weeks rather than months when the debt is documented and undisputed. If the debtor raises a genuine dispute, the court refers the claim to ordinary proceedings, which is why the sixty-day amicable stage matters.
Mostly no since the 2022 reform. It became a directly enforceable instrument instead: you present it to the execution court without a merits hearing. For creditors that is better, not worse.
A contingency percentage of what we recover, agreed before we start. Court fees are advanced only if you approve the legal stage, and they are recoverable from the debtor in most judgments.
The jurisdiction clause decides. No clause usually means onshore Dubai Courts unless the debtor is a DIFC entity. We confirm before any filing, because filing in the wrong court costs months.
Yes. Free-zone status changes the registry we check and sometimes the court, not the enforceability of the debt.
Ten years for commercial claims under the Commercial Transactions Law. Long enough that old invoices are still live, short enough that a debtor's licence may have lapsed first. Move early.
Free review of the invoices, the contract and the debtor's licence status. No retainer, no obligation, no flight to Dubai.
