The debt collection procedure in Czech Republic
Companies that need to recover the debts from partners or providers should know that they can commence the debt collection procedure with complete legal support offered by our team of lawyers. An amicable recovery method is normally started for collecting the debts instead of dealing with a lawsuit in Czech Republic. A payment notification is sent to the debtors, and then a communication between the parties involved will commence. In this matter, the debtor is informed once again about the payments which need to be done, and if from varied reasons the terms cannot be respected, new conditions comprised by a new contract can enter the discussion. The debt collection procedure in Czech Republic may be solved in the court of law if the amicable procedure turned to no positive results.
A legal action can commence after a letter of notification comprising the financial responsibilities of the debtor is sent, and if the payments were still not made. In other words, you have the right to sue the debtor and start a judicial recovery of the money. We are at your disposal with legal guidance if you are interested in recovering the debts.
