What are we talking about:
What is the procedure for obtaining Debt Collection?
To obtain the payment of uncollected sums of money, the use of professionals in credit recovery is often the best solution to bring liquidity back into the coffers of a company. The recovery activity starts from an accurate analysis of the documents relating to the credit title and from the study of the debtor’s financial situation (including the investigation on current accounts) to immediately activate the out-of-court recovery procedure or, in more complex cases, moving on to judicial procedures. The steps of the procedure:
- Request for payment from the debtor by filing a formal notice, by sending a registered letter or certified e-mail, payment within a set maximum term.
- If the formal notice does not lead to collection, the creditor who does not have an enforceable title (check or bill) will go to the lawyers who will present an appeal to the judge for an injunction.
- If even with the injunction decree no resolutive results are obtained, the last step will be to resort to the attachment of the debtor’s assets (the seized assets can be of two types: movable and real estate) which can be used to recover your credit.
Always find the right consultant
Today, debt collection companies must face an extraordinary emergency situation that has led companies and credit institutions to counter the growth of Non-Performing Loans.

Out-of-court debt collection
Let’s clarify the differences between out-of-court credit recovery and judicial credit recovery in order to promptly identify which is the most appropriate path to take and pursue. Let’s start from the so-called “good-natured path” or from extrajudicial credit recovery, through which the process of recovering unpaid credits takes place in the first instance through the search for asset data relating to companies and / or individuals.
The investigative analysis aimed at debt recovery is based on tracing the debtor’s domicile and related sources of income, on commercial and financial information of various kinds and origins, on data relating to credit institutions where the debtor owns the current account and / or savings book and also on real estate properties and vehicle names. Debt collection activities, whether extrajudicial or judicial, must always be carried out by experienced professionals, therefore by consolidated and accredited debt collection companies able to offer high added value services.
If the first phase of the out-of-court recovery does not lead to a definitive resolution of the pending, we will proceed to the formal notice by registered letter with return receipt or certified e-mail, through which the debtor will warn the respect of the terms of payment imposed warning the itself regarding the possibility that the creditor proceeds with the procedure relating to judicial proceedings without granting further terms of notice.
The second way, therefore, the judicial one, will allow the Judicial Officer in charge of credit recovery, to present himself at the debtor’s domicile and/or at the company offices to proceed with the attachment of the assets.
It is also possible to proceed the attachment of the fifth of the salary and / or pension and of the credits claimed from third parties, of the current accounts, of the means registered with the PRA and finally of the properties in the name of the debtor.
Avoid wasting time
Judicial debt collection
In the event that the extrajudicial phase has again led to the non-payment of his credit, the creditor will be forced to proceed with the judicial phase.
It is important to underline that out-of-court debt collection managed with seriousness and professionalism is certainly the quickest path for the creditor, who will be able to recover a credit in a particularly short time.
However, in the event that it is inevitable to proceed with legal debt recovery, the credit recovery company is authorized to carry out all the relevant actions on behalf of its client, aimed at the complete protection of the interests of the same.
The recovery procedure is articulated and developed in the following ways:
Obtain an enforceable title to be able to initiate forced execution on the debtor’s assets.
Proceed with the injunction which in fact requires the debtor to pay the amount due within ten days.
In the event that the debtor does not fulfill within 10 days, you have the right to ask the bailiff to proceed with the attachment of the assets to recover the sum of your credit.
Among the actions to guarantee the creditor, which fall within the recovery service, there is also the conservation seizure of the debtor’s assets, in the event that it can be presumed and demonstrated that the debtor is attempting to hide and dispose of the seizable assets .
