DEBT RESTRUCTURING PROCEDURES IN GOITO

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.

    • 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.
      • Executive procedures do not stop on their own, and the longer you wait, the fewer options you have.

In Goito, here are the 5 main overindebtedness procedures available provided by the Code of Business Crisis and Insolvency (CCII), former Law 3, introduced with Legislative Decree 12 January 2019, n. 14 and subsequently amended.

  • DIFFERENCES FROM PREVIOUS LEGISLATION
    • Greater flexibility
      The new rules of the Crisis Code have introduced greater flexibility in the management of overindebtedness crises.
    • Simplification of access to debt discharge
      The process for accessing debt discharge has been simplified, facilitating non-bankruptcy subjects.
    • Objective

INSIGHTS FAQ


  • How does restructuring affect future access to credit?
    • During restructuring, credit access is limited. Post-completion, debtors gradually rebuild credit through consistent payments and improved financial behavior.
  • What is the role of the debtor's advocate in restructuring?
    • The debtor's legal representative negotiates with creditors, prepares documentation, argues before judges, and ensures debtor rights protection throughout.
  • Can restructuring address garnishment orders?
    • Restructuring approval can suspend existing garnishment orders, though creditors may resume if the debtor violates plan terms.
  • How does cohabitation status affect restructuring plans?
    • Cohabitation can increase household income consideration for plan assessment. Partners' assets and debts may be factored into financial capacity evaluation.
  • What happens if a creditor goes bankrupt during restructuring?
    • If a creditor becomes insolvent, their claims transfer to the bankruptcy receiver. Restructuring plans typically include continuity provisions for such changes.
  • Can restructuring include debt forgiveness components?
    • Yes, some restructuring agreements include partial debt forgiveness where creditors voluntarily reduce amounts owed in exchange for guaranteed payment of remainder.
  • How does business seasonality affect restructuring plans?
    • Seasonal businesses can request variable payment schedules aligned with revenue cycles, ensuring sustainable payments during low-revenue periods.
  • What happens to court fines in restructuring plans?
    • Court-ordered fines are typically non-dischargeable and must be addressed separately. However, judges may allow integrated payment arrangements.
  • Can restructuring plans be transferred to family members?
    • Restructuring is debtor-specific and generally cannot be transferred. However, heirs may pursue restructuring for inherited debts if they accept the estate.
  • How does the OCC maintain accountability in liquidation?
    • The OCC maintains detailed records, undergoes regular audits, and provides transparent reporting to ensure debtor and creditor accountability.
  • Can restructuring prevent professional license revocation?
    • Professional licenses may be protected under restructuring if debts are being addressed responsibly. Judges can advocate for license preservation during proceedings.
