Why am I being charged commission on a case?

This article explains what commission on a case means, and why you may be charged in connection with this.

What is commission on a case?

When Amili collects a claim on your behalf as a creditor, Amili retains a portion of the collected amount as payment for the service. This portion is called commission.

The commission can be a percentage of the principal amount – that is, the original invoice amount, a percentage of default interest or collection fees. The size of the commission is set out in your agreement with Amili. In most cases, Amili retains all interest and fees on collection and further legal proceedings. For cases that have been given monitoring status, it is also common that Amili retains a share of the principal amount.

Why have I received an invoice for commission?

If you have received an invoice for commission, it means that the end customer has paid you directly – either fully or partially. When this happens, parts of the amount paid may belong to Amili according to your agreement. For example, the end customer may have paid both the principal and collection fees directly to you. You are therefore invoiced for Amili’s share of the payment you received.
