Unable to obtain supporting documents for disputed collection fees
I received a collection claim from Intrum concerning an unpaid DHL invoice from 2023.
I acknowledge that the original invoice was overlooked and I have now paid the principal amount of CHF 53.65.
My concern is with the additional fees, which increased the amount claimed to approximately CHF 167.
Intrum's letter states that reminders remained unanswered and specifically refers to a CHF 71.20 processing fee connected to a “2nd reminder”. I therefore asked Intrum to provide copies of the reminders and to explain the basis for this fee as well as a CHF 23 address/creditworthiness verification fee.
Despite several exchanges, I have not received the requested reminders or a substantive explanation. I was first referred to the documents available in the consumer portal. After explaining that the reminders are not among those documents, I was then told to contact DHL directly.
I have now submitted a formal complaint through Intrum's complaint management service and am waiting for their response.
I am perfectly willing to pay amounts that are legitimately due — as demonstrated by my payment of the principal — but I expect additional collection fees to be properly documented when I specifically ask for their basis.
I will update this review when Intrum responds to my complaint.
