Judicial Debt Collection In Italy

Judicial debt collection in Italy is a legal procedure, which is implemented by filing a claim to the court. It aims to recover a debt, caused by a non-payment.

The judicial authority steps in to enforce payment between the creditor, the one who is waiting to be paid, and the debtor, the one who has not paid,

The ordinary court or the Justice of the Peace may be involved, depending on the amount of the claim. With due exceptions, the action should be filed with the Justice of the Peace for amounts up to 10,000 euros, and with the Court for higher amounts.

Choosing the legal procedure for debt collection is almost never straightforward, but it is normally an obligatory choice due to the failure of accommodating attempts put in place through extrajudicial debt collection.
