Injonction De Payer

Money lent to a friend who will not pay you back: gather the evidence, send a formal demand, try a free conciliator, then apply for an order for payment. Written proof required above €1,500, five years to act.

A debt collection agency chases payment for the creditor, but it cannot seize anything and its fees are not yours to pay. The required letter, banned practices, orders for payment and limitation periods.

An unpaid invoice is often recovered without litigation, provided you act fast. Statutory payment terms, late penalties and the €40 fee, formal notice, order for payment, interim relief and limitation periods.
