Do you have a delinquent customer?
At Euriux Abogados we are specialists in law. And today, we give you some recommendations to deal with a case that, unfortunately, is often present in many companies: having a delinquent client who does not pay your invoices. Two out of every three small or medium-sized companies are faced with this profile of clients who exceed the time limit for payment of an invoice.
Client report
To minimise the impact on our activity, one of the first recommendations is to study the profile of the client who wishes to contract the services of our activity. To do this, you have the option of obtaining more information through the Companies Register.
Contract à la carte
At Euriux Lawyers we recommend that you take preventive measures to guarantee possible legal action in the future. Establish a contract à la carte, with the specifications clearly spelled out and with clauses established in the event of non-payment of the debt.
Advance payment
You can also arrange for your services to be paid in advance, prior to the completion of a job. Another option you can consider is to make it easier for your clients to pay you the amounts from the invoice.
Take out insurance
You can take out credit insurance to protect yourself against non-payment. The only consequence of this measure is that you will have to pay the extra costs involved.
Order for payment proceedings
Once all other avenues have been exhausted, when the client does not want to pay, it is time to resort to the courts. And in this case, one of Euriux's lawyers will advise you on how to reach a successful outcome. One of the first measures is the presentation of a burofax to demand payment of the debt, to then initiate a litigation process.
This is a judicial procedure created for debt claims in which invoices, contracts and other documents are submitted to the court corresponding to the debtor's domicile.
