DEBT RESTRUCTURING PROCEDURES IN CAPOTERRA

Being in a state of overindebtedness can be difficult, but there are tools to manage it.

  • HOW TO GET OUT?
    • In the region of Sardegna these are the tools that the law makes available to us:
    • FOR CONSUMERS (natural persons not entrepreneurs)
      • Negotiated composition of personal crisis
        A procedure that allows direct negotiation with creditors to restructure debt, focusing on asset protection and income maintenance.
      • Debt discharge
        A mechanism designed to free the debtor from residual debt, offering the possibility of obtaining a "fresh start" after meeting specific requirements and overcoming the crisis phase.
      • Judicial liquidation
        A last resort solution, available in particularly serious situations, which involves the liquidation of assets to satisfy creditors and allow the debtor to make a fresh start.
    • FOR PROFESSIONALS AND SMALL ENTREPRENEURS
      • Simplified agreement
        Ideal for subjects in crisis with limited personal or business profiles; this procedure offers strong debt reduction in a rapid and simplified manner, protecting income or personal financial stability.
      • Negotiated composition of crisis
        A flexible tool that allows defining, through direct negotiations, a debt restructuring plan, adaptable to the specificities of the profile and financial situation.
      • Debt discharge
        In some cases, after going through the negotiated composition phase, it is possible to access a debt discharge mechanism that allows cancellation of residual debt.
    • FOR ENTERPRISES (large and small)
      • Negotiated composition of crisis
        The central tool for restructuring business debt, aimed at obtaining a plan negotiated with creditors that allows maintaining productive continuity.
      • Preventive agreement in continuity
        Aimed especially at larger enterprises. This tool allows drafting a restructuring plan that preserves business value and continuity, balancing creditor protection with the company's ability to continue operations.
      • Judicial liquidation and liquidatory agreement
        In irreversible situations, these simplified liquidation tools allow realization of business assets to satisfy creditors, eliminating the social stigma of bankruptcy.

    • WHAT IS OVERINDEBTEDNESS AND WHAT DOES IT ENTAIL?
      • Overindebtedness occurs when a person or company is no longer able to regularly fulfill its financial obligations.
      • It is a condition in which accumulated debt exceeds the ability to repay it, leading to a situation of financial crisis that may seem hopeless.

  • DIFFERENCES FROM PREVIOUS LEGISLATION
    • Greater flexibility
      The new rules of the Crisis Code have introduced greater flexibility in the management of overindebtedness crises.

      The process for accessing debt discharge has been simplified, facilitating non-bankruptcy subjects.
    • Objective

  • What are the eligibility criteria for controlled liquidation?
    • Eligible candidates include consumers, small entrepreneurs, professionals and other non-bankrupt categories. No minimum debt amount is required.
  • How does judicial homologation work in debt restructuring?
    • Judicial homologation is the judge's approval of the restructuring plan, making it binding on creditors. It protects the debtor from enforcement actions.
  • Can creditors oppose a consumer plan?
    • Creditors can present objections, but the judge can still approve the plan if deemed sustainable and equitable, particularly if it offers better solutions than bankruptcy.
  • What costs are associated with crisis composition agreements?
    • The crisis composition agreement requires professional assistance from a certified mediator. Costs vary but are typically lower than bankruptcy procedures.
  • How is the OCC (Organismo di Composizione della Crisi) involved?
    • The OCC manages controlled liquidation, handles asset liquidation when present, and supervises compliance with the plan. It acts as the neutral mediator between debtor and creditors.
  • Can I request debt discharge if the plan fails?
    • If the restructuring plan fails due to debtor circumstances beyond control, you may still request debt discharge after demonstrating good faith efforts and genuine financial hardship.
