Our scope of action includes advising our clients so that they can solve their problems while reducing the time and money invested as much as possible.

To do so, we will send a reliable communication, generally by means of a burofax or registered letter, to the debtor on behalf of the creditor to request payment within a specific period of time. This communication will be essential in the event that, at a later date, legal action must be taken.
