Enforcement Treaties & Cross-Border Judgments
How judgments move between jurisdictions — the treaty framework we use to enforce debts across borders.
Built on banking. Run on intelligence.
InterStation was founded in 1999 by former bankers from Diners Club International and Citibank UK who understood one thing clearly: international debt collection fails when it relies on templates, call centres, and hope. It succeeds when it relies on intelligence, local knowledge, and legal precision. We built a company around the second model.
1999 — London
INTERSTATION | CLASSIFIED HISTORY
InterStation was established in London at the intersection of international banking and commercial law. Our founders had spent careers at Diners Club International and Citibank UK — institutions where cross-border transactions, credit risk, and payment systems were not abstract concepts but daily operations.
They observed that international debt collection was broken. Domestic agencies claimed "global coverage" while forwarding cases to strangers. Law firms charged by the hour regardless of outcome. Credit insurers wrote off claims that were entirely collectible. No one was applying genuine local intelligence to the problem.
InterStation was built to fill that gap. Twenty-five years later, we operate across 160+ jurisdictions with native-speaking agents, vetted legal partners, and intelligence sourced from government registries — not LinkedIn.
13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FH. The address has not changed. The network has grown considerably.
INTERSTATION FOUNDING DOCUMENT
Four principles. No exceptions.
Intelligence before contact
We never call a debtor without knowing their corporate structure, filed accounts, director history, and legal exposure. The intelligence report is not a bonus — it is Step 1. Every case. Every jurisdiction. No exceptions.
Local language, local law
We contact debtors in their language, citing their local law, through agents who understand the cultural context of negotiation in that jurisdiction. A demand letter in English to a debtor in Milan is not collection. It is administration.
Escalation by design
Amicable first. Legal second. Enforcement third. Each phase triggers automatically if the previous phase does not produce a result. The debtor does not control the timeline. We do.
You see every action, every response, every excuse, every legal filing — in real time through your client portal. We do not send monthly summary reports. We give you a live window into the operation.
160+ jurisdictions. Not 160+ email addresses.
Other agencies list 160 countries on their website and maintain a spreadsheet of contacts they met at a conference. Our network is different. Every jurisdiction in our system is staffed by professionals we have vetted through case performance — not credentials. We track filing success rates, average resolution times, and client satisfaction for every local partner.
50+ law firms across five continents. Native-speaking agents in 25+ languages. Government-verified data sources in every major commercial jurisdiction. This network was not built in a year. It was built over 25 years of working cases, testing partners, and replacing anyone who did not deliver.

Intelligent Intelligence — where our data comes from
INTERSTATION | DATA CLASSIFICATION
Our debtor intelligence comes from five categories of verified source:
GOVERNMENT COMPANY REGISTRIES
Companies House (UK), Handelsregister (DE), Registre du Commerce (FR), Registro Mercantil (ES), Camera di Commercio (IT), KvK (NL), ACRA (SG), and equivalent registries in 160+ jurisdictions. Filed accounts, director records, corporate structure, charges, and insolvency history.
NATIONAL COURT DATABASES
CCJ registry (UK), Schuldnerverzeichnis (DE), Casier judiciaire commercial (FR), and equivalent court judgment databases. Active and historical judgments, enforcement proceedings, and insolvency petitions.
CREDIT INTELLIGENCE PROVIDERS
Allianz Trade (Euler Hermes), Coface, Atradius — commercial credit insurance data including payment behaviour, credit limits, and risk scores.
EU AND INTERNATIONAL FILINGS
European Business Register, EU company law filings, EDGAR (US SEC), and international corporate filing databases.
LOCAL LEGAL COUNSEL
Our 50+ law firm network provides jurisdiction-specific intelligence that no database captures: court clerk processing times, judge assignment patterns, enforcement officer efficiency, and the practical realities of filing in a specific court in a specific city.
We do not scrape websites. We do not rely on AI-generated summaries. We do not cite data we cannot verify. Every figure in every debtor report has a source. Every source has a human who read it in the local language.
INTERSTATION INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
Senior professionals. Not a ticket queue.
InterStation is staffed by former banking professionals, qualified lawyers, and multilingual negotiators. We do not operate a call centre. Every case is assigned to a named case officer with jurisdiction-specific expertise. Your case officer speaks the debtor's language, understands the debtor's legal system, and has collected similar debts in similar jurisdictions. You will know their name. You will have their direct line.
Discretion is not a service we offer. It is how we operate.
