actions de recouvrement exceptionnelles
Explanation:
The company here doesn't want a debt collection agent to engage in any drastic measures, probably in order to avoid damaging beyond repair the relationship with their client. I am not aware of any set expression in French that would cover the type of collection events listed here, but I would go with "exceptionnel"
See ref.: "Ce moyen de recouvrement exceptionnel est désormais subordonné..."

  -> Thanks!
agree  AllegroTrans: working strictly on the text, this seems OK; but where you and I live, a debt collection agency couldn't possibly issue a judgment, lien against property or attachment of wages as only a court could do that

  -> No, but they could try to make it happen, and their client clearly doesn't want that.
