In carrying out the activities of the company, managers may come across such a concept as accounts receivable. This means that your counterparties owe you some amount of money. As a rule, buyers and customers must pay the money within the period specified in the concluded contract. But in practice, there are situations when debts are not repaid on time. The leaders have to "knock them out".
Instructions
Step 1
Try to resolve the situation peacefully first. Write a letter to your counterparty. Here indicate all the details of the documents (date, numbers, amounts) for which payment was not made. In the letter, you can also specify the maximum debt repayment period. Be sure to clarify that in case of non-compliance with the conditions, you will be forced to file a claim with an arbitration court.
Step 2
If possible, meet with the head of the debtor company. Take all unpaid documents to the meeting, as well as extracts from the current account, when payment was made under other documents under the same agreement. You can check with your counterparty. This is necessary in order to recover debts through the courts.
Step 3
If the payment cannot be “knocked out”, contact the arbitration court. Write a claim, attach all documents that confirm the fact of shipment of goods (provision of services, performance of work). You also need to provide a deal agreement. If you have been in correspondence with a counterparty, attach it to the claim. That is, you need to provide all documents that will be evidence of a receivable.
Step 4
If your counterparty has declared himself bankrupt, you can collect debts in such a situation. Indeed, according to legislative documents, all debts of an enterprise are collected from directors and founders. Only you need to contact the courts as early as possible. For a successful collection, contact a lawyer for help.
Step 5
Still, try to pay off your receivables peacefully. You can negotiate a debt restructuring, that is, change the terms of the contract. Make them softer and more loyal, for example, provide an increased payment term or decrease the amount of monthly payments.
