Do you have an Albanian client not paying your company?
In Albania, the trade system and laws vary from those you're used to. Also, this complicates debt collection in Albania.
Our debt recovery attorneys have the means to make restitution to your creditors. We'll do our best to collect the funds from the moment you turn your debt recovery matter over to us.
As a debt recovery law firm, we have knowledge and expertise available to assist you in recovering your corporate debt in Albania.
1.1. Call the debtor to inquire if your invoice has not yet been paid; send a note immediately; provide a clear description of the invoice in your reminder; and mention a payment period of a certain number of days in this reminder.
2.1. Our international debt restructuring experts have experience and knowledge of Albanian laws and regulations. Therefore they are fully aware of Albania's trade traditions and culture. Which makes it easier for your Albanian debtor to get to pay quickly.
3.1. Debt recovery attorneys have more control than a debt recovery service or a bailiff to put pressure on your Albanian debtor. We can also support you during both the extrajudicial period and the judicial phase. That saves you both time and money.
4.1. Our business debt recovery strategy is tailored to every single case, and we provide tailored advice to you.
5.1. We will always offer our honest advice on the likelihood that your debt recovery will be successful. It is vital to us to put your needs first; we are endeavouring to provide you with your choices and guidance on the best route to take. It is clear to see how we are upholding our core values of honesty and justice.
6.1. You should split the debt collection process in Albania into two stages. Selection takes place during the extrajudicial process, without the intervention of the Court. We do include the Court during the legal process in order to make your Albanian debtor pay. Because we are a law firm, we are able to assist you in both processes. Many debt recovery problems in Albania are settled during the extrajudicial process, with no interference by the Court.
7.1. In theory we often continue with the extrajudicial step of the debt collection method. We are trying to prevent Court interference at this point, as this can be costly. We'll call your debtor in Albania to seek payment.
7.2. In specific cases, we'll also engage with your Albanian debtor in a face-to-face chat. If the debtor fails to pay within a specified period of time we will launch legal proceedings on your order. In Albania, reporting legal proceedings also persuades the customer to pay.
8.1. If your Albanian debtor refuses to pay during the extrajudicial process, we can go to Court in Albania after negotiation with you.
We will always give you preliminary details about the likelihood of success in your debt recovery case.
We will also remind you of the potential costs in advance, and will only continue with your permission.
In the case of an uncontested dispute involving two parties located in EU Member States (except Denmark),
European Order for Payment proceedings may be launched.
The counsel who handles your cases will decide if this form of action is appropriate in your case.
The creditor typically fills out a specific form for European Order for Payment procedures and sends this to the Court.
Then the Court issues a European Transaction Order.
The debtor will then have 30 days to decide if they disagree to the request. If no reaction is received within the 30-day period, you can request the Court to finalize the payment injunction (called a "declaration of enforceability").
This decision is true and enforceable and is recognized in any Member State (except Denmark). The European Payment Order is never acceptable for contested matters (so not in situations where there is a disagreement over the invoice).
The benefit of this process is simplicity and low cost (some Member States don't even demand a filing fee), but the drawback is that if it gets challenged, the case stops, and if the claimant wishes to continue, an ordinary civil procedure will need to be launched
