Our debt recovery services in France cater to businesses and individuals encountering challenges in reclaiming debts from both consumers and commercial entities.
This service is particularly beneficial for international businesses dealing with French clients, as well as local French businesses facing difficulties in recovering overdue payments.

Prerequisites

In France, the debt recovery process involves specific legal procedures.
Key documents required for initiating debt recovery include invoices or business book extracts.
For debts involving commercial transactions, it's essential to understand the nature of the debt and the debtor's business context.

Setting up a Payment Schedule: French law requires an attempt to amicably settle the matter before any legal action. We negotiate payment schedules if possible.
