What is debt recovery?

Debt recovery is the legal process by which a creditor ensures recovery of the sums owed by a debtor.

  • Legal analysis of the debt and determination of the enforceable title.
  • Assistance in drafting the payment notice.
  • Representation in court.

When is it necessary to hire a lawyer for debt recovery?

It is recommended to hire a lawyer in the following situations:

  • The debtor refuses to pay or respond to notifications.
  • The amount owed is significant.
  • The debt is challenged: The lawyer will present evidence and counter the debtor's arguments.
  • There is a risk that the debtor will become insolvent.

Comprehensive legal assistance, representation, and consulting services

We can successfully represent you in initial negotiations to reach an amicable solution for the payment of civil or commercial debts.

If the debtor is acting in bad faith, we will take legal action against them.

The procedures are tailored to each specific case:

  • Out-of-court amicable procedure
  • Judicial procedure
  • Payment order
  • Payment injunction
  • Insolvency procedure – Law 85/2014:
  • General procedure
  • Bankruptcy procedure
  • Simplified procedure

The amicable stage involves minimal financial effort and is often highly effective, avoiding further deterioration of the parties’ financial positions and keeping business relationships intact.

If the debtor still fails to meet your financial claims, we initiate litigation using one of the judicial methods described above.

What types of claims can be recovered?

Our firm handles the recovery of a wide range of debts, including:

  • Commercial debts: Unpaid invoices, amounts owed under service or sales contracts.

  • Civil debts: Debts between individuals, unpaid loans.

  • Outstanding salaries: Recovery of salary entitlements for employees.

  • Taxes and duties: Challenging abusive taxes and recovering tax debts.

    Debt-recovery process

    The debt recovery process is a complex but well-structured legal procedure that can involve several stages, from amicable settlement to enforcement measures. Working with a specialized lawyer ensures that each stage is handled correctly, in a timely manner, and in accordance with the law.

    • Starting the proceedings: It all starts with a detailed analysis of the situation, determining the legality of the debt and identifying the necessary documents. The lawyer can help you prepare a payment notice, which is the first step in notifying the debtor.
    • Negotiations: At this stage, the lawyer seeks to resolve the dispute amicably by discussing with the debtor to reach a quick agreement.
    • Legal action: If negotiations fail, legal action will be taken to obtain an enforceable title.
    • Enforcement: In the event of continued refusal by the debtor, enforcement proceedings will be initiated to recover the amounts owed through attachment or sale of the debtor's assets.

    Estimated duration of the process

    • Amicable recovery: 2–6 weeks.
    • Legal proceedings: 3–12 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
    • Enforcement: up to 6 months, depending on the debtor's solvency.

    Risks and limitations in debt recovery

    • Debtor insolvency: If the debtor has no assets or income, recovery may be impossible.
    • Duration of the process: Legal proceedings can take months or even years.
    • Statute of limitations on debts: It is important to initiate action before the legal deadline expires (usually 3 years for commercial debts).

    Legal deadlines for debt recovery

    According to the law, creditors must initiate the recovery process within the statute of limitations:

    • Commercial debts: 3 years from the due date.
    • Personal debts: Deadlines may vary depending on the nature of the contract.

    How do you ensure your chances of success?

    Our firm uses a strategic approach to maximize your chances of success:

    Preliminary analysis: We evaluate the documents and the debtor's solvency.

    Negotiations: We try to resolve the dispute quickly and without additional costs.

    Legal action: We establish a strong strategy for court, if necessary.

    Amicable debt recovery

    - Direct negotiation with the debtor.

    - Establishing a written payment commitment.

    - Sending a payment notice, which may expedite the process.

    Advantages of the amicable approach

    - Low costs.

    - Avoiding lengthy legal proceedings.

    - The possibility of maintaining a business relationship with the debtor.

    Enforcement – the final solution for debt recovery

    When amicable solutions fail, enforcement becomes the next step. This process begins with obtaining an enforceable title, such as a court judgment, and continues with its enforcement by a bailiff.

    The main steps of enforcement:

    1. Obtaining a final and irrevocable judgment.
    2. Preparing the enforcement request.
    3. Initiating the procedure by the bailiff.
    4. Effective recovery of the amounts owed, either through garnishment or through the sale of the debtor's assets.

    Required documents

    It is important to have the following documents at hand:

    • The contract or agreement certifying the debt (e.g., sales contract, service contract).
    • Unpaid invoices: These must be detailed and contain all the necessary information.
    • Proof of communication: Emails, letters, or notifications sent to the debtor, showing that you have attempted to resolve the issue amicably.
    • Company documents (for legal entities): Tax identification number, registration certificate, etc.

    Contracte, facturi, dovezi de plată și alte acte justificative.
    3Ce costuri sunt implicate?
    Costurile includ onorariul avocatului și eventualele taxe judiciare.
    4Ce este un titlu executoriu?
    Titlul executoriu este un document emis de instanță care confirmă datoria debitorului și permite inițierea executării silite.
    5Pot iniția o recuperare de creanțe fără un avocat?
    Da, dar este recomandat să apelați la un avocat pentru a vă asigura că respectați toate procedurile legale și pentru a evita întârzierile sau greșelile.
    6Ce se întâmplă dacă debitorul este insolvent?
    Dacă debitorul este insolvent, puteți participa la masa credală în cadrul procedurii de insolvență. Avocatul vă va reprezenta pentru a maximiza șansele de recuperare a sumelor datorate.
    7Se pot recupera creanțe de la persoane fizice?
    Da, se pot recupera creanțe și de la persoane fizice, în special în cazurile de împrumuturi sau alte datorii personale.
    8Pot solicita recuperarea unei creanțe dacă termenul legal a expirat?
    Dacă a expirat termenul de prescripție (de obicei 3 ani pentru creanțe comerciale), șansele de recuperare sunt foarte mici. Totuși, avocatul poate analiza dacă există excepții aplicabile.
