Debt collection in Macedonia

The debt collection process in Macedonia can be divided into two stages. During the extrajudicial phase, collection takes place without Court intervention. During the judicial phase, we do involve the Court in order to make your Macedonia debtor pay. Because we are a law firm, we can assist you during both stages. In Macedonia, 95% of the cases that we solve, can be collected without any court intervention.

Extrajudicial debt collection in Macedonia

In principle, we always start the debt collection process with the extrajudicial phase. At this stage, we try to prevent Court intervention, as this can be expensive. We will contact your debtor to demand payment.  In specific cases, we will also engage in a face-to-face conversation with your debtor in Macedonia. If the debtor does not pay within a set period of time, we can commence legal proceedings on your instruction. Announcing legal proceedings often convinces your customer in Macedonia to pay.

Judicial debt collection

If your debtor in Macedonia refuses to pay during the extrajudicial phase, after discussion with you, we can go to Court in Macedonia . We will always provide you with information in advance regarding the likelihood of success in your debt recovery matter. We will also inform you in advance about the potential costs, and we only proceed with your permission.

European order for payment proceedings:

  1. In the event of an undisputed claim between two parties based in EU Member States (except Denmark), it is possible to commence European Order for Payment proceedings. The attorney handling your case can assess whether this kind of procedure is suitable in your case.
  2. For European Order for Payment proceedings, the creditor usually completes a standard form and submits this to the Court. The Court then issues a European Order for Payment. The debtor then has 30 days to state whether they object to the claim. If there is no response within the 30-day period, you may ask the Court to make the order for payment final (called a “declaration of enforceability”). This is a valid and enforceable judgment which is accepted in any Member State (except Denmark). The European Order for Payment is never appropriate for disputed matters (so not in cases where there is an argument about the invoice). The advantage of this procedure are speed and low costs.
