Turkish enforcement offices open a case with no judgment and no documentary proof at all — but a single unreasoned objection inside seven days can stop it just as fast. First results typically within 20 days. You pay only when money moves.
Bu ofis, yukarıda belirtilen ticari alacakla ilgili olarak alacaklınız adına hareket etmektedir; söz konusu alacak halen vadesi geçmiş ve ödenmemiş durumdadır.
Bu yazının tarihinden itibaren yedi gün içinde borçun tamamının, Türk Ticaret Kanunu ve 3095 sayılı Kanun uyarınca işleyecek temerrüt faizi ile birlikte ödenmesini talep ediyoruz. Ödeme yapılmadığı takdirde, başkaca bir ihbara gerek olmaksızın icra dairesi nezdinde icra takibi başlatmakla talimatlıyız.
Yerel avukat muhabirimiz dosyaya zaten vakıftır.
This is what your Turkish debtor receives — and because Turkish enforcement needs no judgment or documentary proof to open, we can move to icra takibi the moment the seven days lapse. Hover the black bars — that is where your debtor's name goes.
Turkey has the lowest bar to open a case on this entire site — and the lowest bar to stop one. Tap a stage — see what the debtor receives, what it costs them, and what the law hands you next.

Cosmodca runs this ladder for overseas creditors every day — a debt collection agency for Turkey that files, serves, and enforces locally while you follow the case in one dashboard. Turkey is the clearest case on this site where speed of filing means nothing without evidence quality: opening a case is nearly instant, but a single unreasoned objection can send it to court unless the documentation was strong from day one. Debtor elsewhere in the Middle East? See the Dubai & UAE desk or the international debt collection agency desk.
Creditors in the US, UK, Germany, and beyond place Turkish cases with one desk — lawyers on the ground, one dashboard in your language.
Turkish payment data explains why speed matters here in both directions — for the creditor opening a case, and for the debtor who can stop it just as fast:
Also verified: 56% of Turkish businesses offer payment terms up to two months, and more than three-quarters cite customer liquidity shortages as the main driver of delay — well above the roughly 60% CEE regional average. No official TÜİK or Ministry of Justice insolvency count was verifiable, so no insolvency card is shown here.

Debt collection in Turkey is the recovery of overdue invoices from Turkish businesses on behalf of the creditor — formal notice, then, where unresolved, an icra takibi that needs no judgment to open. For an overseas creditor, a debt collection agency for Turkey runs the entire ladder locally while you keep one contact.
Your case reaches a Turkish collector the same day.
Live entity confirmed against the Turkish trade registry.
İhtarname issued through a notary for proof. Many Turkish commercial cases settle here.
Application to the icra dairesi — no judgment and no documentary proof required to open the file.
The debtor can halt everything with a single unreasoned itiraz — no evidence required from them either.
Where undisputed, haciz attaches accounts and assets directly; where objected, our lawyers move to lift or annul it. No recovery, no fee.
Three models cover nearly every Turkish commercial case. The percentage depends on claim age, size, and complexity. Legal costs are quoted and approved by you before any filing.
A flat-fee Turkish demand sequence under your name — ihtarname through a notary. Escalates only if the debtor stays silent.
A success fee on the amount actually recovered. Nothing upfront. Nothing on failure. Statutory interest under the Turkish Commercial Code and Law No. 3095 often offsets part of the cost.
Icra takibi and enforcement through lawyers in the debtor's jurisdiction. For urgency, the fast debt collection service; for contested claims, attorney-based debt collection from day one.
Most creditors assume opening enforcement in Turkey is the hard part. It isn't — no judgment, no documentary proof, filed directly with the icra dairesi. The real test comes seven days later, when a single unreasoned objection can send the whole case to court. Which is exactly why we build the file to survive that objection before we ever file the ödeme emri. Specialist B2B debt collection puts that machinery behind your receivable on a success-fee basis, with industry desks for manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, aviation, maritime, and technology.
Debt collection in Turkey escalates from an ihtarname — a formal notice usually issued through a notary — to an icra takibi, an application to the icra dairesi (enforcement office) that requires no prior judgment and no documentary proof to open. The office issues an odeme emri (payment order); if the debtor doesn't object within seven days, enforcement proceeds directly.
A Turkish business that ignores an odeme emri without objecting faces haciz — direct attachment of bank accounts, receivables, or other assets — without ever needing a court judgment first. The enforcement office administers this, not a court.
Turkish law allows a creditor to open ilamsiz icra takibi (enforcement without judgment) directly with the icra dairesi, presenting only the underlying claim — no prior court judgment and no documentary proof of the debt are required to file. It's the fastest, lowest-friction filing on this entire site.
The debtor can halt the proceeding with a single itiraz within seven days of service — no reasons or evidence required. That sends the case to court: itirazin iptali (annulment action) if the creditor has to prove the claim from scratch, or the faster itirazin kaldirilmasi if qualifying documentary evidence already exists. Which route is available depends entirely on what was in the file before the odeme emri was even issued.
On the contingency model, nothing upfront: the success fee is a percentage of the amount actually recovered, quoted in writing before you place the case. Turkish Commercial Code and Law No. 3095 entitle a B2B creditor to statutory default interest, which we cite in the ihtarname and which often offsets part of the fee.
Yes, directly. An icra takibi doesn't require a prior US or UK judgment — it's filed straight with the Turkish enforcement office. Where you already hold a foreign judgment, our Turkish lawyers assess whether recognition changes the strategy.
The longer read for creditors doing their homework: how Turkish collection actually runs, the asymmetry between opening and stopping a case, the icra takibi procedure in detail, what Turkish law already gives you, and when placing a case is the wrong move. Open what matters.
A debt collection agency working Turkey for an overseas creditor does four things you cannot efficiently do from abroad. It verifies the debtor against the Turkish trade registry. It applies pressure with a notarized ihtarname. It escalates through an icra takibi — filed with no judgment or documentary proof required to open. And it enforces through haciz, or through itirazin iptali or kaldirilmasi where the debtor objects, via lawyers in the debtor's jurisdiction.
Turkey is also where Cosmodca already has real footing: our existing coverage draws close to a thousand monthly search impressions on the core term, the strongest existing footprint of any country pillar we've built. This page consolidates and extends that groundwork rather than starting from zero.
Every other country on this site makes a creditor clear at least some threshold before enforcement opens — a notarized letter, a documented claim, a court's initial review. Turkey's icra dairesi requires none of that: a creditor can open ilamsiz icra takibi with no prior judgment and no documentary proof of the debt at all.
But the same low bar applies to the debtor. A single itiraz — unreasoned, unsupported, filed within seven days — stops the proceeding cold and forces the creditor into a separate court action. That's why Turkey is the clearest case on this site where documentary quality decides everything: the file has to be strong enough to survive an objection that costs the debtor nothing to raise.
Ilamsiz icra takibi is filed directly with the icra dairesi (enforcement office), which is administrative rather than judicial — it does not evaluate the claim's merits before issuing the odeme emri. Once served, the debtor has 7 days under Article 62 of the Icra ve Iflas Kanunu to file an itiraz.
If no itiraz is filed, the creditor proceeds straight to haciz. If one is filed, the creditor's next move depends on the file: itirazin kaldirilmasi is the faster route, available where the claim already rests on qualifying documentary evidence; itirazin iptali is full ordinary litigation, needed where it doesn't.
The Turkish Commercial Code and Law No. 3095 on statutory interest entitle a B2B creditor to default interest once a commercial debt falls due, which we cite in the ihtarname as a matter of course. We keep the exact article-level citation under review with counsel before it's used in any specific letter.
Industry data puts the recoverable share of a receivable near 94 percent at 30 days past due and below 30 percent past a year, in Turkey as everywhere else — one more reason the ihtarname goes out immediately, not after a polite delay.
Candor is cheaper than a wasted mandate. If the debtor is already in iflas (bankruptcy) proceedings, an icra takibi is the wrong tool — the file belongs with the bankruptcy administration, and we will tell you so at assessment. If the debtor genuinely disputes what you delivered, the case needs an itirazin iptali strategy built from day one rather than a filing likely to draw an objection with no downside for the debtor. And if the claim is past the applicable limitation period, no collector revives it.
Everything else — the silent A.Ş. or Ltd. Şti., the debtor who "never received" the invoice, the customer betting an overseas creditor won't instruct Turkish counsel — is exactly what this desk exists for. The assessment costs nothing and tells you which category your case is in. Debtors elsewhere in the Middle East belong with the Dubai & UAE desk or the global coverage hub.
