 <\/u><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h2><strong>Legal Dispute<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The participation of the debtor in the Out-of-Court Mechanism procedure, regardless of the outcome, means that the debtor has the intention to settle and is not a strategic defaulter.<\/p>\n<p>His participation in the procedure can be used as a strong argument against a court case that the debtor has with either the State, the insurance funds or the banks, to protect his assets from seizure and auction.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h2><strong>Obtaining insurance and tax information<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As we all know, valid insurance and tax information is necessary for a number of transactions such as the transfer of property, the collection of money from the state, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of large debts to the State and insurance funds, their adjustment is necessary for obtaining tax and insurance information.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h2><strong>Many creditors and multiple debts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This procedure is ideal for cases where the debtor owes money to more than two creditors (either banks or the State).<\/p>\n<p>Normally, the debtor would have to go to each creditor individually to agree on a debt settlement, with whatever this might mean in terms of time, cost and outcome (unrealistic settlement).<\/p>\n<p>With the application of the Extra-Judicial Mechanism, the debtor &#8220;invites&#8221; all creditors to participate in a joint procedure, with a specific timetable, in order to reach a common arrangement with the vote of the majority of creditors.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the debtor has the right to reject the resulting arrangement if he does not consider it advantageous.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAKE-BIG-BUSINESS-300x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"393\" height=\"329\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><strong>If I apply to the Extra-Judicial Mechanism, can anything negative happen to me?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p>The debtor, whether a legal or natural person, has no legal consequences of any kind, even if at the end of the procedure, the debtor refuses the restructuring proposal proposed by the creditors.<\/p>\n<p>If he refuses, the creditors will assess his refusal in the same way as they would if they spoke directly to the debtor.<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, from the submission of the application and for as long as the procedure lasts (maximum 2 months from the submission of the application on the online platform), the debtor-applicant receives legal protection from persecutory measures of his creditors and the continuation of the enforcement procedure on the debtor&#8217;s movable and immovable property in respect of the debts for which the adjustment is requested.<\/p>\n<p>An exception is the case of an auction scheduled within 3 months from the date of final submission of the application on the electronic platform as well as any preparatory action for the auction by a creditor with a letter of credit (e.g. seizure).<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Does the Extra-Judicial Mechanism work?  <\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>We receive many questions from stakeholders as to whether the Extra-Judicial platform is actually working and whether it is actually working or whether it is just another unsuccessful attempt by the state to regulate debts.<\/p>\n<p>The online platform of the Extrajudicial Mechanism under the Second Chance Law (Law 4738\/2020) is operational as of 1\/6\/2021.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, until November 2021, the platform had experienced various technical problems, but since then the platform has produced hundreds of long-term arrangements, solving the problem of hundreds of debtors, while thousands are already in the process.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can the debtor apply on the online platform of the out-of-court mechanism?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The debtor has the option of making the application himself.<\/p>\n<p>However, completing the application requires technical knowledge and considering that once you submit the application, you cannot submit another one for at least 12 months afterwards, it requires special care.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the official figures of the Special Secretariat for Private Debt Management are revealing.<\/p>\n<p>From 1\/6\/2021, when the online platform of the Extra-Judicial Mechanism was opened until 28\/2\/2022, approximately 48 thousand debtors have entered and opened the application, while only 2 thousand have submitted the final application. That is only 4%. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>What should I look out for when choosing a Consultant?  <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The advisor you trust <strong>should be certified<\/strong> for this procedure by the Special Secretariat for Private Debt Management, which oversees the online platform of the Out-of-Court Mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the expertise and knowledge of the procedure available to the certified advisor, he\/she has access to full technical support from a call centre of the E.G.D.I.H. that exclusively serves certified advisors of the Extra-Judicial Mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>Correct completion and submission of the application is crucial, as in case of inaccuracies or omissions there is a high probability that the application will be rejected from the start and the debtor will have to wait 12 months to reapply.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Why Us?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Because we are a team of certified advisors in the Out-of-Court Mechanism process and we can responsibly, reliably and authoritatively support you throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, we have submitted dozens of applications with high success rates for those that have completed the process.<\/p>\n<p>But not only that.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We have many years of experience in the financial sector (Banks, advisory services), having successfully handled numerous cases and we can advise you effectively <strong>to solve permanently and definitively the problem of overborrowing that plagues you.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/epikoinonia\/\">Contact us for your case.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-7511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/%CE%95%CF%80%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%B9%CE%BD%CF%89%CE%BD%CE%AE%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B5-300x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"389\" height=\"326\"><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/9-kai-1-alitheies-gia-ton-exodikastiko-michanismo\/\">9+1 truths about the New Extra-Judicial Mechanism<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/9-kai-1-alitheies-gia-ton-exodikastiko-michanismo\/\"> 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/arthrografia\/\">Visit the Articles section for more on debt regulation.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the new Extra-Judicial Mechanism? extrajudicial mechanism The new Extra-Judicial Mechanism under the 2nd Opportunity of Law 4738\/2020 is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12300,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-fullwidth.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12401","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-articles"},"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solvdebt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
