«Fixed price» means the seller expects to sell at a price that he self evaluated. Although negotiations might take place between seller and buyer(s). «Best offer» means the seller is opened to any auction and there is no reserve price.
«Yes» means that all the documents needed to prove the existence of the debt are available. Such documents are but not limited to:
– Invoices
– Contracts
– Orders
– Proofs of delivery
– Dunning letters, emails, faxes, etc.
– Statement of accounts
As debtcatcher.com doesn’t ask for these documents to be uploaded at any time, the deals between sellers and buyers being set up directly between them, buyers will put extra care when reviewing these elements of proofs. Sellers must cautiously tick the right box when listing debts and do not pretend that a debt is fully documented when it is only partially, or even not at all.
A disputed debt is when the debtor claims that he does not owe any or part of the amount of the debt, and when he can prove that there is a serious reason for this.
