Recovering a debt does not just mean obtaining a judgment: it means actually getting paid. That is why, before starting, I check the documents and, where possible, the debtor's assets, so as to choose the most effective route.
The process usually starts with a formal letter of demand, which in many cases is enough. If payment does not arrive, we proceed with a payment order (decreto ingiuntivo) and, when needed, with enforcement. I keep you updated at every step, with no surprises.
What I deal with in this area
Letters of demand and payment orders
An unpaid invoice, a loan not repaid, a fee that never arrives.
Garnishment and enforcement
Being right is not enough, you also need to get paid.
Frequently asked questions
Which documents do I need to recover a debt?
Invoices, contracts, accepted quotes, emails or messages, bank statements: anything proving that the debt exists and how much it is. Written evidence is essential to apply for a payment order.
By when must I act?
Under Italian law the ordinary limitation period is ten years, but for many debts it is shorter, for example five years or less. The sooner you act, the higher the chances of collection: it is best not to let too much time pass.
