The situation
A transport company was owed 430,000 MDL by a commercial partner for services invoiced and not paid on time. The parties are not named.
The payment terms had passed and direct talks between the two companies had not brought the money in. The debtor was trading and able to pay, so the amicable track was chosen: no court and no court costs.
What we did
We checked the documents behind the claim (contract, invoices, proof of service) and the amount owed, then opened talks directly with the debtor: a written notice, negotiation and a payment commitment with clear dates, followed through to the last instalment.
- Checking the documents and the amount owed.
- Written notice to the debtor and first direct contact.
- Negotiation and a payment commitment with fixed dates.
- The amount was collected in full, 54 days after the file was opened.
The result
430,000 MDL collected in full in 54 days, without court and without court costs for the creditor.
What other creditors can take from this
When the debtor is able to pay, firm amicable follow-up can close the file without court costs.
Anonymized case: the creditor and the debtor are not named. The result is not a guarantee for other files.
