Consistency Pays Off: Bondster Recovers Millions from Defaulted Loan Originators

April 30, 2025 For investors
Bondster actively pursues outstanding debts from delinquent loan originators and has successfully recovered millions of Czech crowns. A consistent approach, combined with collaboration with legal experts and local regulators, enables the platform to resolve even complex cases effectively.
Trust and security are the fundamental pillars of investing. That’s why Bondster consistently enforces claims against originators who breach contractual terms and unlawfully withhold repayments of principal and interest.
“Transparency and investor protection are our top priorities. Thanks to our proactive approach, we’ve managed to recover millions of crowns from problematic originators – and we will continue these efforts,” says Josef Novák, Chief Operating Officer at Bondster.
How does the recovery process work?
The recovery process at Bondster is divided into three phases:
- Prevention and communication – An internal team communicates intensively with the originator through video calls and emails to prevent issues and ensure the repayment of obligations.
- Restrictions and negotiation – If the originator fails to respond and falls into default, Bondster halts their ability to list new loans, downgrades their rating to “D,” and initiates negotiations for a repayment schedule. Guarantors may also be brought into the process.
- Legal action – If previous measures yield no results, Bondster initiates legal steps, including lawsuits, criminal complaints, or participation in insolvency proceedings.
Concrete successes: millions returned to investors
Bondster’s consistent approach has led to a number of significant achievements. For example, the Colombian originator RapiCredit has repaid all outstanding buybacks including default interest, resulting in the full return of principal to investors along with an attractive return of 17% p.a.
“Loans from this originator attracted investments exceeding CZK 275 million and became one of the most profitable offerings on the platform,” adds Novák. Other originators that have already repaid their debts or are actively working on repayment include Fenchurch, Huddle Capital, ARVE, and Crediface.
Regular investor updates
Bondster regularly updates information about problematic originators in the “Delayed Originators” section of its website. This gives investors a constant overview of the current situation.
What makes Bondster different?
The Bondster team is made up of experts with extensive experience in debt recovery.
“We work in an international environment where we deal with various legal frameworks and cultural differences. We cooperate with reputable law firms, regulators, and other institutions, which enables us to effectively protect our investors,” explains Novák.
A long-term commitment to investor protection
The successful recoveries from RapiCredit and other originators confirm that Bondster is a stable and reliable partner. The platform continues to actively resolve outstanding cases, with protection and recovery of investments remaining a key priority. With Bondster, your investments are in good hands.
