Login and access problems
Problem: "E-mail and password did not match"
Likely causes:
Incorrect email address or password.
You are trying to log in on the wrong portal. The client portal is at app.debitura.com. If you are a collection partner, use partner.debitura.com instead.
Fix:
Confirm you are on the correct portal: clients use app.debitura.com.
If you forgot your password, click "Recover password" on the login page or go directly to Password Reset.
Enter your email address and check your inbox for a reset link (also check spam). The link expires after 24 hours.
Password requirements: minimum 8 characters.
Your account will not be locked out after multiple failed attempts, so you can keep trying.
For the full password reset walkthrough, see How to reset your password / login troubleshooting.
Problem: cannot log in after signing up
Likely cause: Your email address has not been verified yet.
Fix:
Check your inbox (and spam folder) for a verification email from Debitura.
Click the verification link. The link is valid for 24 hours.
If the link has expired, clicking it will automatically trigger a new verification email.
You can also use the "Resend verification email" option on the confirmation page.
Debitura does not block temporary or disposable email addresses at signup, but registration does not guarantee that emails reach that mailbox. Use a permanent business email you can access; if you have lost access to the mailbox you registered with, contact support - you cannot change the login email yourself.

Document upload issues
Problem: "File size must be less than 25MB"
Cause: Each uploaded file must be under 25 MB.
Fix:
Compress the PDF using a PDF compression tool.
Reduce image resolution if applicable.
Split large documents into multiple smaller files.
Remove unnecessary pages before uploading.
Problem: "Invalid file type"
Cause: The file format is not supported.
Fix: Convert your file to one of the accepted formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, JPG, JPEG, PNG, TXT, ZIP, EML or CSV.
Problem: "Upload failed" or files fail after progress bar
Fix:
Click "Retry" on the failed file (up to 3 attempts).
Check your internet connection.
Try a smaller file or a different format.
If drag-and-drop does not work, use the click-to-browse method instead.

Case submission and status issues
Problem: submitted a case but did not receive a confirmation email
Cause: Debitura does not send a separate confirmation email for individual case submissions.
Fix: Go to your cases list and confirm the case appears with status "Pending Verification". If it does not appear after refreshing, wait a few seconds and try again. If it still does not appear after one minute, contact [email protected].
For more details, see How to confirm your case was submitted successfully.
Problem: case has been in "Pending Verification" for a long time
Likely cause: "Pending Verification" covers two sequential stages that look the same in your portal.
Stage 1 (automated): Debitura's system reviews the case for completeness. This runs approximately 1 hour after submission. If it does not pass automatically, a Debitura team member reviews it manually (typically 1-2 business days).
Stage 2 (partner review): The assigned collection partner reviews the case. They may accept it, request more information, or decline it.
Fix: Check your tasks and case chat for any requests from the partner. If you have been waiting more than 2 business days with no update, use the case chat to ask the partner for a status update. If you receive no reply within 48 business hours, email [email protected] with your case reference number.
For a full explanation of case statuses, see Case status definitions.
Problem: partner declined my case
What happens: When a partner declines your case, it enters "Collecting Quotes" (Leads) status. Other partners in the Debitura network can review it and submit quotes for you to accept.
Fix: Wait for alternative quotes, or close the case if you prefer not to continue. See Partner declined my case - what happens next?
Problem: the case submission showed an error, or the page hung while submitting
Cause: The portal waits a limited time for an answer. When that wait runs out, only the waiting has stopped. The submission usually continued on our side and succeeded, so an error at this point is an unconfirmed outcome rather than a confirmed rejection.
Fix: Do not submit the case again straight away. Check your cases list first: if the case is there with status "Pending Verification", it went through. If you do not see it, refresh after a few seconds. If it still does not appear after one minute, contact [email protected]. If you think you have already created a duplicate, contact [email protected].
Cannot edit case data
Problem: cannot change information on a submitted case
Cause: Editing ability depends on how far the case has progressed.
Pending Verification: Most fields are still editable from the case detail page.
Active, Paused, or More Info Required: The debtor's contact details, the amounts and the dates can no longer be edited directly - use the case chat to request those corrections from the collection partner. Two things you can still change yourself: the debtor type (Company or Private) and the identity fields tied to it, from the edit icon on the Type row in the Debtor Information panel, provided your current partner also handles the corrected type; and the bank account, which requires the Creditor Admin role - regular creditor users see it as read-only.
Problem: need to change the partner or jurisdiction
Cause: Some corrections cannot be made by you or the collection partner.
Fix: Contact [email protected] and include your case reference number, a description of the correction needed, and any supporting documentation. Note:
Changing the collection partner is only possible if no payments have been received.
Changing the debtor's jurisdiction is not possible once the case is active.
The bank account is not on this list - a Creditor Admin can change it from the case page at any status, including Active, Paused and More Info Required. Regular creditor users see it as read-only.
For early-stage cases still in Pending Verification, it is often faster to close the case and create a new one with the correct data. Early-stage closures incur no fees.
Collection partner is not responding
Problem: no reply from the collection partner
Expected response time: Collection partners are expected to reply to case chat messages within 48 business hours. New case confirmation typically happens within 48 hours (2 business days, weekends excluded).
Fix:
Send a message through the case chat. Your message does not email the partner directly; it creates an automatic task with a 2-day deadline, which appears in the partner's daily task summary email.
If you have not received a reply within 48 business hours, email [email protected] with your case reference number and a description of the issue.
For details on how to use the case chat, see How to contact your collection partner (chat and notifications).
Email and notification issues
Problem: not receiving emails from Debitura
Likely causes:
The email was filtered to spam or junk.
Notification preferences are turned off.
Fix:
Check your spam and junk folders for emails from [email protected].
Add [email protected] to your contacts or safe senders list.
If you are missing a verification or password reset email, use the resend option on the relevant page.
For more details, see Not receiving email notifications.
Problem: 2FA verification code not arriving during contract signing
Cause: A 6-digit verification code is sent to your registered email address when signing the Standard Debt Collection Agreement (SDCA) for the first time.
Fix:
Check your spam or junk folder.
Use the "Resend code" option on the 2FA screen. The code is valid for 30 minutes. If your code is still valid, the same code is sent again and the 30 minutes are not extended - receiving identical digits is expected, not a fault. If it has already expired, a fresh code with a new 30-minute lifetime is issued and the old code stops working. Always use the code from the most recent email.
If the code is reported as invalid, check that you entered all 6 digits correctly. An expired code cannot complete signing - use "Resend code" and enter the newly issued code.
2FA is only required for the initial SDCA signing. Updates to the agreement or Power of Attorney (PoA) signing do not require a code.
