Goods delivered, invoice overdue, the buyer in Ireland silent. This page explains how a B2B claim is collected in Ireland, how long it takes, and which interest and costs can be charged to the debtor. Incasso Mentor sets up and runs this process on your behalf: we choose the right route, bring in the local specialist, follow every step and report to you in Turkish. You only take the decisions. Information as of September 2026.
The four figures that matter most to a Turkish exporter. Fees and rates change; before any legal step we confirm the current figures with our partner.
Demand in English; interest and the flat fee are claimed. No licence is required for agencies in Ireland; contact hours and a harassment ban are set by law.
A solicitor prepares and files the claim; without a defence, default judgment without a full hearing. Fees District Court €25–80, Circuit Court €90–130. Indication: 3–6 months undisputed.
Hearing at the competent court; timeline depends on the case. Small Claims (€2,000) is closed to companies.
Sheriff or County Registrar seizure of movables (€19), judgment mortgage (€20), garnishee (bank/third party), instalment order. Above €10,000: statutory demand 21 days, then winding-up (Companies Act 2014 s.570); examinership 70 days' protection.
Collecting a debt in a foreign country on your own is exhausting: language, law, finding the right firm, negotiating fees, not missing deadlines. This is exactly where Incasso Mentor comes in. We review your file, obtain an independent credit report on the debtor and determine the most suitable route for Ireland.
Then we set up the process: we select the registered agency or lawyer in Ireland, hand over a complete and well-prepared file, fix the fee on your behalf in advance and follow every step. You work with one contact, in your own language. Every decision is yours; no step is taken without your approval.
You: send us the invoice, contract and delivery documents.
We: assess the file, obtain the credit report and report the route and cost to you in writing.
We: select and brief the local specialist in Ireland, fix the fee and watch the deadlines.
We: report every development in Turkish and answer your questions.
You: take the decision at every stage. Legal steps only with your approval.
Ireland has no national order-for-payment procedure; every commercial claim is filed by a solicitor. We hand over in English and obtain a fixed quote.
For undisputed debts above €10,000: 21-day statutory demand, then the threat of a winding-up petition; Irish companies react quickly.
The European order for payment and small claims are for EU-established claimants; a Turkish exporter uses the national route. The judgment is enforced in the EU under Brussels I-bis and in Turkey through tenfiz.
Indication 3–6 months to a default judgment in an undisputed file; a defended case longer. A statutory demand can produce results within 21 days.
No legal requirement is named, but in practice every commercial claim is filed by a solicitor.
Court fees are low (€25–130); costs are charged to the debtor when you win. Interest and the €40/70/100 flat fee are for the debtor.
Share your invoice and the basic documents. We review the file and report the route in Ireland and the expected cost to you in writing, in Turkish; the rest we plan together. B2B, from €20,000 per debtor.
