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.

Advantages of the amicable approach
- Low costs.

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:
- Obtaining a final and irrevocable judgment.
- Preparing the enforcement request.
- Initiating the procedure by the bailiff.
- 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.
