Ladies and Gentlemen,
in light of the current events surrounding the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the nationwide state of epidemic, many businesses have been faced with difficulties operating in the market under current conditions. Many of these entrepreneurs will face difficulties maintaining financial liquidity and settling their obligations. The emerging crisis is slowly beginning to affect both sole proprietorships and entities operating within large partnerships or corporations. The current situation raises many questions and concerns, including those regarding the possibility of obtaining payment for services performed in accordance with concluded contracts.
According to the lawyers at Kijewski Graś sp. k., not only entities involved in the transport of goods, tourism, and trade are at risk from the current situation. Dark clouds are also gathering over other sectors of the economy, and many of them have significant connections and interdependencies. Therefore, with your interests at heart, we offer comprehensive debt collection services based on respect for ethical principles and applicable law.
The office conducts debt collection in a comprehensive manner, distinguishing its various stages, starting from debt collection based on the accounting department, payment monitoring and sending payment demands, also taking into account interest rates (including interest for late payment in commercial transactions), to debt collection at the judicial and enforcement stages.
We distinguish between so-called soft debt collection – based on debt management that benefits both parties, often through negotiations and agreeing on repayment terms without resorting to legal action. During these proceedings, many cases are resolved amicably, through various settlements or agreements regarding repayment of arrears. Our law firm offers solutions tailored to the situation, often preparing installment plans.
However, there are situations when the debtor shows no willingness to resolve the matter amicably. In such cases, in accordance with applicable regulations, documentation and a lawsuit are prepared, including a detailed description of the factual and legal circumstances, along with all attachments. This method of debt collection is called hard debt collection; at this stage, there is no room for negotiation, but for efficient action aimed at reaching a court decision. Obtaining a payment order and its entry into force marks the end of a certain stage of the case; however, it is the beginning of enforcement proceedings, where, with the help of experienced bailiffs, debts can be collected nationwide.
All claims must be substantiated in an appropriate manner by presenting contracts, VAT invoices, delivery notes, correspondence with the debtor, receipts and other documents that may be relevant in proving the due amount.
In the current situation, it seems necessary to implement debt enforcement measures. Our lawyers are experienced in handling disputes and payment proceedings at every stage and offer support and information should you have any questions.
