One invoice or a multi-country portfolio.
Some clients come to us with one unpaid overseas invoice. Others need one team to manage a portfolio spanning several countries, some in the EU, some in Mexico or Canada, some further out, without retaining a separate local firm in every one of them. JSD takes the whole set under a single engagement, and each account is still reviewed on its own contract, currency terms, and governing jurisdiction before anyone makes contact.
How JSD handles an international account.
The same three steps apply whether it's one overseas invoice or a multi-country portfolio.
Review the contract and documentation
We start with the signed agreement, the invoices, an account statement, and any payment correspondence, then confirm the governing law and currency terms before anyone makes contact.
Determine the market-specific approach
Some accounts move fastest through direct outreach once the debtor realizes distance won't slow this down. Others call for a local contact with standing where the debtor operates. We decide based on the account and the market, not a fixed script.
Manage recovery through resolution
Your account stays with the same JSD team from placement through resolution. We may bring in in-market support for a specific call or introduction, but the account itself is never handed off into another company's network.
Where we've actually worked
A selection of the countries where we've resolved past-due commercial accounts on behalf of clients based in the U.S., the UK, and elsewhere.
B2B debt collection in Mexico and Canada
Mexico and Canada are among the markets where we have recovered past-due commercial accounts, and cross-border accounts next door stall for the same reason accounts further out do: the debtor assumes a border is a buffer. We review the contract, invoice, currency terms, payment history, and where the debtor actually operates before deciding whether direct outreach or an in-market contact is the stronger first move.
B2B debt collection for the UK and EU
We handle accounts across the UK and EU alongside our U.S. work, drawing on experience with UK and EU debtors built over two decades. One engagement covers both sides of the Atlantic when a client's receivables span U.S. and UK or EU customers, with each account still reviewed under its own governing law and currency terms.

Common questions about international collections.
Can JSD collect B2B invoices across multiple countries under one engagement?
Yes. Some clients place a single overdue account from one overseas customer, while others route an ongoing portfolio across several countries, including both the U.S. and the EU. One JSD team manages the engagement, and each account is still reviewed separately for its contract, currency, and governing jurisdiction.
How do I recover an unpaid commercial invoice from a company in Mexico?
Start by gathering the signed agreement, the invoices, an account statement, and any payment correspondence. We review that documentation and where the debtor operates, then tell you whether the account is realistic to pursue and whether direct outreach or an in-market contact is the stronger first move. The same approach applies to Canada and our other markets.
Do I need to hire a local lawyer in every country where a customer owes us money?
Usually not. Most accounts should be assessed and pursued before anyone raises legal action, and retaining separate counsel upfront in each jurisdiction is rarely the right first step. We read the file first and bring in in-market support only when that account calls for it, while your account stays with the same JSD team.
What does international debt collection cost?
We always work international accounts on contingency, so there is no fee unless we collect. Send the account details and we will tell you what recovery would realistically involve and what the fee would be before you commit to anything.
What documents do you need to start an international collection?
The signed contract or purchase order, the unpaid invoices, a current account statement, and any correspondence about payment. Anything showing the debtor acknowledged the balance is especially useful. We read the contract before we make contact, so governing law and payment terms are established from the start.
How is international commercial collection different from collecting domestically?
The invoice and the underlying obligation work the same way as any commercial collection. What changes is who can credibly make the call. A debtor overseas often assumes distance limits what a U.S. agency can do, so the work leans more on local representation and that country's business norms.
Is my account handled directly by JSD, or routed to a local partner agency?
Your account is handled by JSD from placement through resolution. We may bring in a local contact for a specific call or introduction when that's the right tool, but the account itself is never handed off into another company's network. You work with the same team throughout.
What if the country I need isn't on your list?
The list reflects a track record built over two decades, and it keeps growing with each new account. Send us the details and we'll tell you directly whether recovery is realistic in that jurisdiction before you commit to anything.
