Debt Recovery Intake Form

Use this form to give us the facts needed to prepare a Korean-language demand letter (naeyong jeungmyeong) or a payment order application. Attorney Doyun Lee reviews what you submit and replies by email with an assessment and a quote.

Submitting this form is not a retainer and does not create an attorney-client engagement.
The attorney reviews your submission and replies with a quote. Nothing is sent to the debtor, and no court filing is made, until you approve and sign a retainer.
Please do not attach files. Describe your documents below; we will tell you how to send them after the first review.

Demand letter only (KRW 1,650,000)We write one formal demand letter in Korean and send it to the debtor by certified content mail (naeyong jeungmyeong). It creates an official record that you demanded payment; it does not force payment by itself.Demand letter, then a payment order (KRW 1,650,000 + KRW 2,200,000~3,300,000)If the debtor still does not pay after the letter, we apply to the Korean court for a payment order (jigeup myeongnyeong), a paper-only court order with no hearing. Charged in two steps; the second fee applies only if you proceed.Not sure. Please review my case first (KRW 550,000 (credited against the retainer))The attorney reviews your facts and documents and recommends which route fits, with a quote. If you then retain us, this review fee is deducted from the retainer fee.

If the debtor disputes the claim or objects to the payment order, the case becomes an ordinary lawsuit (civil first instance KRW 5,500,000~8,800,000), which is a separate engagement. Court fees, postage and translation costs are extra.
