Amicable Collection - Key Takeways
Key Benefits

Submit your claims in minutes and pay only if we recover your money.

Step 1:  Quick & Secure Claim Submission 📤

Begin debt recovery effortlessly through your preferred method:

  • Dashboard: Easily upload and monitor claims through our intuitive web-based platform.
  • REST API: Automate claim submissions directly from your existing systems.
  • ERP integrations: Seamlessly integrate with popular ERP systems like QuickBooks or Xero.
  • Zapier: Set up efficient, automated workflows.

⏳ Immediate activation means your debt recovery starts instantly.

Step 2: Amicable Collection (Cobranza Extrajudicial) 🤝

Our initial, non-judicial stage involves professional negotiations guided by Ativo’s local expertise:

  • Demand Letters: Formally request payment through carefully crafted letters (cartas de cobranza), strategically delivered via certified mail or notarized demand (requerimiento notarial).
  • Direct Negotiation: Engage debtors through phone calls and in-person meetings, exploring payment plans or settlements.
  • Resolution Timeline: Typically, amicable collections conclude within 15–30 days.

Step 3: Optional Legal Escalation (Juicio Ejecutivo Mercantil) ⚖️

If amicable recovery fails, our vetted legal network initiates formal proceedings swiftly:

  • Formal Lawsuit: Filing of a demanda under Mexico’s Código de Comercio with essential original documents supporting your claim.
  • Summons (Emplazamiento): Court issues formal notice; prejudgment attachment (embargo precautorio) secures debtor’s assets early.
  • Response Timeframe: Debtors have typically 8 business days to contest in executive proceedings, 15 days for ordinary proceedings.
  • Transparent Quotes: Receive up to three fixed-price legal proposals, ensuring cost clarity.

Step 4: Enforcement & Recovery (Etapa de Ejecución) 🏦

Securing your owed funds involves systematic asset recovery:

  • Bank Account Garnishment: Quick freezing of debtor’s bank accounts upon court order.
  • Real Estate Liens: Registering legal claims against debtor’s properties.
  • Asset Seizure & Auction: Court-appointed actuarios seize tangible assets for auction, usually within 2–4 weeks post-judgment.

📚 Local Laws & Compliance

Debitura ensures strict adherence to Mexico’s robust legal framework:

  • Código de Comercio: Governs commercial debt litigation and collection procedures.
  • Código Civil Federal: Defines obligations, statute of limitations (generally 10 years), and standard legal interest rates.
  • Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor: Oversees consumer debt collection practices, managed by PROFECO.
  • Ley General de Títulos y Operaciones de Crédito: Dictates special procedures for checks, promissory notes, and other negotiable instruments.
  • Código Nacional de Procedimientos Civiles y Familiares (CNPCF): A new unified procedural code aimed at streamlining litigation nationwide by 2027.

🤝 Relationship-Preserving Approach

Debitura prioritizes maintaining positive relationships even during debt recovery:

  • Respectful communication: Professional interactions ensure debtor dignity.
  • Flexible settlements: Encouraging manageable agreements beneficial to both parties.
  • Cultural understanding: Navigating negotiations sensitively, informed by local customs.
  • Transparent documentation: Clear and legally enforceable agreements prevent future disputes.

Debitura’s proven methodology ensures your debts in Mexico are managed expertly, efficiently, and ethically.
