Our Commercial Law Services in Oaxaca

Debt Recovery & Judicial Collection

Credit is the engine of commerce, but when debtors stop paying, your liquidity is at risk. We offer debt recovery with a contundent approach:

• Executive Commercial Trials: The fastest legal route when you have a credit instrument (promissory note, check, bill of exchange). It allows for the seizure of the debtor's assets at the very beginning of the trial.
• Ordinary Commercial Trials: For debts documented in contracts, unsigned invoices, or other less formal agreements.
• Execution of Judgments: Ensuring that the court's decision translates into actual payment or property auction.

Collection of Promissory Notes (Pagarés) and Invoices

A signed promissory note is equivalent to cash, but it has expiration dates (statute of limitations). We execute:

• Promissory Note Collection: We file the executive lawsuit with an immediate request for asset seizure (real estate, vehicles, bank accounts).
• Returned Checks: Civil commercial lawsuits and, where applicable, criminal fraud complaints.
• Invoice Collection (CFDI): If you provided a service or sold a product backed by an invoice and weren't paid, we initiate the necessary legal steps to reclaim the debt.

Defense against Banking Abuses & Unrecognized Charges

Banks often engage in abusive practices. We defend you in cases of:

• Unrecognized Charges on credit or debit cards (cloning, electronic fraud).
• Unauthorized electronic transfers (SPEI fraud).
• Lawsuits to nullify promissory notes signed under duress or fraud.
• Representation before CONDUSEF and subsequent judicial trials against financial institutions.

Judicial Collection Process (Executive Commercial Trial)

1. Document Review (Free, 30 min): We evaluate your promissory note or contract to ensure it meets legal requirements and hasn't expired.
2. Solvency Investigation: We verify if the debtor has seizable assets (properties in Oaxaca, vehicles, bank accounts).
3. Filing the Lawsuit: We present the case before the state or federal courts in Oaxaca.
4. Seizure Order (Exequendo): The judge orders the seizure of assets, often using public force if necessary.
5. Diligence and Attachment: We go to the debtor's address with a court official to preventively secure assets.
6. Judgment & Auction: We proceed until a final judgment is achieved and assets are auctioned to liquidate your debt.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to collect a promissory note in Oaxaca? The executive action for a promissory note expires (prescribes) in 3 years from its due date. If that time has passed, there are still legal routes, but you lose the advantage of immediate seizure.

What happens if the debtor hides their assets? Commercial judges allow the use of public force and the tracking of bank accounts through the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) or property searches in the State's Public Registry (IFREO).

How much does a commercial lawsuit cost? We typically work on a success fee basis (15% to 30% of the recovered amount), plus initial operational expenses. This aligns our interests with yours: we only get paid when you recover your money.

Does the firm handle cases outside Oaxaca City? Yes. We represent clients throughout the State of Oaxaca, including the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (Salina Cruz, Juchitán), the Coast (Puerto Escondido, Huatulco), and the Mixteca region.
