DEBT RESTRUCTURING PROCEDURES IN TAVIANO

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

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

      • 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.
