Debt collection laws in Slovenia

Debt collection laws in Slovenia may differ compared to the regulations in your country. Often following local procedures is much more effective and faster. With a Slovenian lawyer by your side, they can initiate the following procedures on your behalf:

Tožba za izterjavo: Payment order procedure

In the case of an undisputed claim, the Tožba za izterjavo can be initiated.

After the court makes a judgment, our lawyer, together with the court bailiff, will immediately take the necessary steps to enforce the judgment.

Tožba: Civil proceedings

If the case is disputed and the debtor disagrees with the claim, then the debtor can also be summoned for civil proceedings. Both parties will then have to present their cases in court. In some cases, the court makes a judgement immediately or schedules a hearing instead.

Začasna odredba: Intermediate measures

In certain cases, you can also apply for the Začasna odredba. This is an intermediate measure that allows creditors to protect their assets or legal rights. After creditors apply for the Začasna odredba, legal proceedings must be commenced within a certain period of time.
