DECOL Greece — how we recover receivables
DECOL Greece is DECOL Services Ltd's dedicated regional desk for Greece. Cases are handled by native-language collectors and escalated to locally-admitted counsel where required.
Services in Greece
Consumer collection (Law 3758/2009)
Strictly compliant consumer outreach: contact-frequency, call-recording, disclosure and settlement offer rules.
Payment order (διαταγή πληρωμής)
Fast-track payment order proceedings — enforceable within 20 days if the debtor does not object.
Auction & garnishment
Wage garnishment, bank account freezes and — in commercial matters — asset auction through Greek bailiffs.
Our process
1. Placement
Case placed via Decol24. Native Greek handler assigned within one business day.
2. Amicable phase
30–60 day amicable phase: extrajudicial demand, phone contact and negotiated instalment plans.
3. Payment order
Δικηγόρος (advocate) files a διαταγή πληρωμής — enforceable in ~20 days if not opposed.
4. Enforcement
Δικαστικός επιμελητής (bailiff) serves the order and executes: garnishment, seizure or auction.
Legal framework
Consumer debt collection in Greece is governed by Law 3758/2009 (contact hours, recording, disclosure). The payment order procedure under Article 623 CCP allows creditors with documented invoices to obtain an enforceable title within 3–4 weeks. The general limitation period for commercial claims is five years under Article 250 of the Civil Code.
Jurisdictions covered: Greece · Cyprus (bilateral enforcement)

FAQ
Is DECOL registered under Greek collection law?
DECOL's collection work in Greece is delivered through partner firms compliant with Law 3758/2009 and — where required — the Bank of Greece register of collection companies.
How fast is a Greek payment order?
For documented B2B invoices, a payment order (διαταγή πληρωμής) is typically issued within 15–20 days and becomes enforceable if the debtor does not object within 30 days of service.
Do you handle Cypriot creditors chasing Greek debtors?
Yes — this is one of our most common corridors, benefitting from the Cyprus–Greece language overlap and simplified cross-border EU enforcement.
