Hi,

I thought I'll repost this here also.

A first-time translation client (English>Lithuanian) appears to be not willing to pay after 4 months, numerous reminders and a few promises to pay. It is a communications firm in Norway. Does anyone here have any experience with debt collection in Norway?

Thanks

I would also bomb their various emails with the invoice and payment demand, including the ceo's email.
and tell the world on their Facebook page… and denounce them to proz blue board… ▲ Collapse

thanks Jeffrey Feb 12, 2019

I tried oddcall. My client seems to be insolvent. Do you know if there's a Norwegian site I can check this?

You can check in the norwegian trade register. https://www.brreg.no/home/
Just type in the name or organization number (business / VAT number)

Yes, tried this site but they don't list companies undergoing insolvency/bankruptcy procedure, only bankrupt ones...
