Learn how to recover debts from Polish companies step by step — legal options, time limits, and best practices explained.

Doing Business in Poland: What Happens When Clients Don’t Pay

Working with Polish companies can be profitable, but when invoices remain unpaid, collecting the debt may feel complicated. Here’s how to recover your money efficiently and legally in 2025.

Step 1 – Amicable Debt Collection

Always start with a friendly but professional approach. Our team at DCMR LEGAL contacts the debtor in Polish, negotiates repayment, and issues formal reminders — all without legal action.👉 No win – no fee applies in this stage.

Step 2 – Legal Options in Poland

If the debtor remains unresponsive, a lawsuit may be filed under the Polish Civil Code. Once the case is won, court bailiffs (komornik) can enforce the judgment efficiently.

Step 3 – Time Limits You Should Know

In most business-to-business cases, the limitation period in Poland is three years from the due date of the invoice. Missing this deadline can make recovery impossible, so timing matters.

Step 4 – Why Local Representation Helps

International creditors often face language barriers and cultural differences. Our local presence ensures faster responses, compliant actions, and real results.
