What CONNEXX does

CONNEXX is a European Collection and Enforcement Network founded on 8 October 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany, by Belgian judicial officer Alex Dockers together with Martin Leyshon and David Walker. It operates as a private, member-based quality trademark connecting judicial officers, lawyers, and collection agencies across 20 European countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, England & Wales, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Scotland, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, and Ukraine). The network coordinates cross-border debt collection, judgment enforcement, document service, solvency checks, and pre-litigation investigations through in-country partners, providing creditors with a single point of contact for multi-jurisdiction recovery.

The underlying technology is a coordination and file-exchange platform rather than a traditional software product. Members access an internal members area with upload/download facilities for secure case-file sharing, and collectively negotiated discounted rates apply across jurisdictions. Enforcement activities span amicable collection, obtaining enforceable titles, and full enforcement proceedings (asset seizure, bank garnishment, wage arrestment, property attachment, forced sales), with service of process supported under EU regulations including e-CODEX.

CONNEXX is a private association undergoing formal incorporation as a legal entity seated in Luxembourg. It does not have venture capital or institutional investment and has no subsidiaries. Revenue mechanics are transaction-based, with fees varying by country under statutory, negotiable, or contingency structures. End customers served through member firms span financial institutions, utilities, government and public sector bodies, law firms, and commercial creditors across Europe. The network is led by a board including President Geoffrey Gallé (Luxembourg), with operations supported by bi-annual General Assemblies across member cities.

Revenue model

1. Cross-Border Debt Collection Services: Connexx members collect outstanding debts on behalf of creditors across European jurisdictions. Partners handle amicable (pre-legal) debt collection, obtain enforceable titles, and carry out enforcement proceedings. Fees vary by country and are either fixed by law, negotiable, or follow contingency structures. In some countries (e.g., England, Wales, Scotland) the debtor pays; in others (e.g., France) the creditor pays.
2. Document Service: Network partners serve legal documents across jurisdictions, including through electronic means under EU regulations such as e-CODEX.
3. Enforcement Proceedings: Full enforcement services including seizure of assets, bank account garnishment, wage arrestment, property attachment, and forced sales, with government-fixed or statutory costs.
4. Solvency Checks and Investigations: Partners provide insolvency checks for individuals and companies, debtor asset searches, and tracing services.
