ILC & Associates offers a full range of debt collections options for debts of all types.
A debt collection lawyer is more effective than a debt collection agency as in most countries, including Italy, a lawyer has various possibilities to take appropriate action to collect your debt, e.g. start legal procedures, file a petition for bankruptcy, have an attachment placed on assets of the debtor. A debtor knows what a debt collection lawyer can do and is therefore often prepared to settle the debt amicably.
The usual procedure for debt collection will involve:
1. Letter before action
If we make a recovery of the debt without legal proceedings we charge a fee based on a percentage of the debt.
2. Tracing agents
If the address of the debtor is unknown we confirm their current location by instructing a tracing agent.
3. Issuing proceedings
If a defence is filed at Court an ILC affiliate solicitor will litigate on your behalf
4. Enforcement
If the debtor fails to settle the debt after court proceedings then we can enforce action to recover the debt, these will include Balliffs, charging orders, third party debt order and attachment of earnings.
We will look at the unique facts of your case and advise accordingly on the best procedure to take moving forward. This will be based on what will bring the best return in the right amount of time.
In most cases, we will accept to act on a contingency fee basis, subject to a prior assessment of the case and of the financial strength of the debtor.
