Claim
A claim is the right to demand a service, often a payment, from another person. The holder of this right is the creditor; the one who must fulfill the obligation is the debtor. An invoice can document a claim, but its issuance alone does not resolve all proof issues.
To prepare a recovery in Luxembourg, identify the origin of the obligation, the amount, the due date, and the documents that establish the service. Distinguish the requested sum, received payments, and accessories. This presentation allows discussing a dispute on specific elements.
The documentary work consists of linking each sum to its basis. An invoice, an accepted quote, and proof of delivery do not establish the same elements. Presenting them together allows distinguishing a disagreement on the price from a contestation of the service.
