Consequences of the non-payment of reception fees

Reminder charges and charges for legal prosecution.

From 1 January 2005, the charge for a reminder to settle unpaid invoices is fixed at CHF 5.00 per reminder.

The collection agency may charge an indemnity of CHF 20.00 for initiating legal prosecution against persons who have not paid the radio and television reception fee. This charge may be levied only if the proceedings have been initiated for a valid reason.
