Debt Collection

in Italy by the LAVVIT Italian lawyers

LAVVIT lawyers specialise in debt collection and debt collection in Italy from small to large companies. Because debt collection works differently in Italy than in Germany. Letters from Italian debt collection companies end up in the wastepaper basket. Italian debtors know that you only face danger if you have a lawyer.

In Italy it is common for debtors to accept payment terms of 90 or 180 days. Although the law has now been set at 14 days or 30 days. The debtors actually know that they should have settled the claims long ago. Nevertheless, many companies try to achieve their liquidity by deferring payments.

And although the legal situation is clear, the employees, executives or managing directors of many Italian entrepreneurs react angrily when German creditors arrange for a tough letter from a lawyer to collect outstanding debts.

LAVVIT lawyers have years of experience in debt collection and debt collection in Italy. That's why we know how to act towards Italian debtors. Debt collection in Italy requires approaching the debtor in a very friendly and jovial manner, while at the same time making it very clear that there must be no discussion about the payment itself.

LAVVIT lawyers begin to draw the Italian debtors' attention to the open claim in writing, and then make it clear in a friendly and firm manner that LAVVIT lawyers will not let up until the German client's claim has been paid. Here we rely on personal discussions with the representatives of the debtors.

And of course the debtors react differently when they receive a call from one of our Italian lawyers than when a German lawyer is on the line. Suddenly it's also about honour. And where there was brickwork up to now, LAVVIT lawyers will find a solution that can be an immediate payment or an instalment payment contract.

We are relentless in our pursuit, especially when the acknowledgement and instalment agreement made at our pressure is not honoured. In the case of unreasonable debtors, we sue your claims before German or Italian courts. We also persistently pursue the last step, the foreclosure. In view of the high home ownership rate in Italy, we are happy to enforce debtors' properties.
