Hello Colleagues,

I have a client based in Italy that is currently 30+ days late. So far my attempts at contacting them have failed, and I have just about exhausted all of my options.

The amount owed is a little over 300 EUR. Has anyone had similar issues trying to collect from a client in Italy and, if so, how was it handled? I have tried contacting a few debt collecting companies, however, I haven't received a response.

Have you just emailed one email address? Or:
- have you searched for others?
- have you found contact information on their website?
- have you searched the Italian companies register for contact details?
- have you sent them a letter by snail-mail?
- have you tried phoning?
- have you tried skyping?

Without knowing what you have done it's a little difficult to know what to suggest.
