Why tuition goes unpaid across borders
Your students and clients come from everywhere. Most pay. When one stops after going home, your holds and reminders on campus no longer reach them.
Payment plan stopped mid-semester
The monthly payments ran on time until spring, then the card failed and emails went unanswered.
Training invoices sitting abroad
A company abroad sent ten employees to your course and has not paid the invoice months later.
Fewer levers once they leave
Once a student has left the country and the course, campus holds and reminders no longer work.
How Debitura helps
A licensed expert where your former student lives
We match each claim to a vetted local partner who knows the language, the consumer rules and the courts. You sign one agreement and follow every case on one platform.
Reaches students in their home country
A partner where the former student now lives writes in their language and follows the local address and contact rules.
Respects student consumer rules
The partner applies the debtor country's consumer rules, such as withdrawal rights for online courses and US limits on collection calls.
Treats corporate training as B2B
For fees owed by employers, the partner uses local late-payment law, including statutory interest and recovery costs where they apply.
How it works
From overdue invoice to money in your account
- Submit the claim
Upload the invoice or statement, the enrollment or training agreement and the payment plan if there is one. You see the fee before you confirm.
- A local expert takes over
We match the claim to a licensed partner in the debtor's country. You talk to them directly in the case chat.
- You get paid
You get paid what is recovered, minus the partner's share. Court action only starts if you accept a quote.
Ways to submit
Send cases the way you already work
Type in one claim, upload a spreadsheet of overdue accounts, or connect your accounting software and send overdue invoices from there.
What it costs
No Cure, No Pay, with the fee shown before you submit
No setup fee, no subscription and no retainer. If money is recovered, the success fee depends on where the debtor lives and the size of the claim. Minimum claim sizes depend on the market and on whether the debtor is a consumer or a business.

FAQ
Debt collection for education providers
Ist Debitura ein Inkassounternehmen?
No. Debitura is a debt collection platform. We match your case to a licensed local collection agency or law firm in your debtor's country, which does the collection under local law. We provide the agreement, the platform and the quality checks.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. There is no setup fee, subscription or retainer. You pay a success fee only on money that is recovered. Legal action is quoted separately and only starts if you accept the quote.
Can a school collect unpaid tuition from a student who has returned home?
Yes, if the debt is undisputed. A licensed partner in the student's home country contacts them in their language and collects under local law, including local consumer rules.
Does the 14-day withdrawal right affect online course fees?
In the EU, consumers have 14 days to withdraw from distance contracts, subject to the exceptions in Article 16 of Directive 2011/83/EU. If a student withdrew in time, the fee may not be due, so make sure the claim is undisputed before you submit it.
Do you collect from companies that booked training for employees?
Yes. Corporate training fees are B2B claims. In the EU, late-payment rules give the creditor statutory interest and a fixed recovery sum, and the local partner applies the debtor country's rules.
Do you accept claims from any course provider?
Debitura accepts claims from legitimate education and training providers. Programs whose main product is the promise of making money, rather than a concrete skill, are not accepted.
Do we stay in control?
Yes. You decide whether to escalate, you approve payment plans over 12 months and discounts over 20%, and you can see every action the partner logs.
What does it cost?
From 6% in Europe and 7.5% elsewhere, depending on claim size and the debtor's country. See the full fee schedule.
