Despite our initial attempts at amicable resolution, the debtor consistently made empty promises, eventually becoming non-cooperative and ceasing all correspondence.

We started the prelitigation procedures, approached the debtor and sent him a legal notice through the notary public, the debtor became aware that we were capable of filling the case against him in front of this country’s jurisdiction, and if payment was not made, we would seize his trade license and request the court to seize his assets and sell it in a public auction in addition to that we will request the outstanding amounts along with all compensation arising from damages incurred as a result of withholding his financial dues.
