DEBT RESTRUCTURING PROCEDURES IN CAPRIOLO

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

  • HOW TO GET OUT?
    • In the region of Lombardia 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.

INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS REQUIRING DEBT RESTRUCTURING ASSISTANCE IN CAPRIOLO


  • Controlled liquidation of assets for over-indebted individuals in Capriolo
    • Where a debt restructuring plan is not viable, the controlled liquidation procedure under Article 268 of the Italian Insolvency Code offers the over-indebted individual residing in Capriolo the prospect of complete discharge from residual debts. The procedure entails the judicial sale of non-exempt assets under the supervision of the court of Brescia, with the subsequent release of the debtor from remaining obligations upon satisfaction of the legal conditions. The firm assists the client through the eligibility assessment, documentation, and the discharge application, which — if granted by the court — may represent a definitive resolution of the debt situation.

    • The family composition plan under the Italian Insolvency Code enables the over-indebted consumer residing in Capriolo to propose a structured repayment schedule to creditors, preserving essential family assets — including the primary residence — while achieving sustainable debt relief. The procedure, conducted before the competent court of the district encompassing Capriolo, requires the appointment of an OCC (Organismo di Composizione della Crisi) and the preparation of a feasibility report. The firm assists from the initial assessment of indebtedness through to judicial approval, ensuring compliance with the stringent requirements that condition the court's acceptance of the plan.
