6. THE DEBT COLLECTION PHASE IN CYPRUS
6.1 You should split the debt collection phase in Cyprus into two phases. Selection takes place during the extrajudicial process, without the involvement of the Court. They do include the Court during the legal process in order to make the Cypriot debtor compensate. Many issues are resolved in Cyprus during the extrajudicial process, with no interference by the Court.
7. EXTRAJUDICIAL DEBT COLLECTION
7.1 In theory we often continue with the extrajudicial step of the debt collection cycle. We are trying to prevent Court interference at this point, as this can be expensive. We'll call your debtor in Cypriot to seek reimbursement.
7.2 For specific cases, we'll even communicate with your Cypriot debtor in a face-to-face chat. If the debtor fails to pay within a specified period of time we will launch legal proceedings on your order. The declaration of legal proceedings also persuades the customer to compensate.
In the case of an uncontested dispute between two parties located in EU Member States (except Denmark).
European Order for Payment proceedings may be initiated.
In your situation, the prosecutor who manages your case will decide whether this kind of action is acceptable.
The claimant typically filled out a standard form for EU Order for Payment procedures and submits this to the Tribunal.
Instead, the Court issues a Community Transaction Notice.
The debtor then has 30 days to decide whether they object to the charge. If no response is obtained within the 30-day span, you can require the Court to finalize the payment order (called a "declaration of enforceability"). This decision is true and enforceable and is recognized in any Member State (except for Denmark).
The EU Payment Order is never useful for contested issues (so not in situations where there is a disagreement over the invoice).
The benefit of this process is flexibility and low cost (some Member States don't even impose a court fee), but the drawback is that if it gets challenged, the case stops, and if the claimant wants to continue, a regular civil action will have to be launched.
