# Statements Overview

> High-level guide to the Statements endpoints

<Warning>
  This page documents a frozen v1 API. It receives only critical correctness or
  security corrections. For new integrations, use the [current API](/api-docs/overview)
  and follow the linked [migration guide](/api-docs/legacy/overview#migration-guides).
</Warning>

The statements endpoint allows you to list and retrieve our statements.

## What are Statements?

We periodically send you our collection statements.

These statements cover:

* Our payouts to you
* Details regarding the payments your debtors have made to us
* Details regarding direct payments you have received from your debtors. You can report paments using the [payments endpoint](/api-docs/legacy/case-management/payments/create-a-payment)
* Details regarding charges, e.g., expenses we have incurred on your behalf
* Closing information on your cases

By default, you receive the statements by email and in your [paywise dashboard](https://app.paywise.de/abrechnungen/) in both PDF and Excel formats.

Through this endpoint you can retrieve all the information contained in the PDF and Excel files via the API, including all case-level details.

## End-to-End Collections Management by API

The statements endpoint allows the entire collection process to be automated end-to-end on your side: From submitting outstanding receivables through the [claims endpoint](/api-docs/legacy/case-management/claims/create-a-claim) to processing our statement details in your accounting system.
