# Introduction

> The Debbie Creditor API is a RESTful interface allowing you, as a creditor, to programmatically send data to your debt collection partner and access your data in the platform. It provides predictable URLs for accessing resources, and uses built-in HTTP features to receive commands and return responses.

With the Creditor API you can integrate your own systems — for example your ERP
or invoicing system — directly with your debt collection partner. Typical use
cases are:

* Creating customers with contact details of the debtor
* Sending unpaid invoices, fees and deposits for collection
* Attaching documentation to a case, such as pdf copies of invoices
* Registering payments the debtor made directly to you
* Following the status of your collection cases
* Reading the settlement, so it can be posted in your own books
