Under amicable proceedings. We usually send official “Attorney letter” on behalf of our Client to debtor with demands under the pain of bringing action before court. The debtor is also contacted several times through official summon in writing, telephone and email.

Next, we contact our Client and present results of negotiations with debtor for approval.
