bad debts in litigation in Italy
Explanation:
"Bad and doubtufl debts" to use the old fashioned British term (non performing loans in banking accounts) start as overdue (past due in US terms) and as time goes on are classified as 'doubtful' or 'impaired' (where you think you might recover some of the money) and finally 'bad' before they are finally "written" off the books (eliminated and forgotten about). At some stage this company passes them to its legal department to start court proceedings and then they are "in litigation". Of course companies don't have to go to court. They can write them off or sell them (at a discount) to a specialist debt collection agency which tries to collect.

Oh the "italia" part means that this is only for bad debts in Italy, not other countries.

Credo che stia per "crediti in sofferenza Italia".

Ricostruendo si ha : Crediti in contenzioso e in sofferenza in Italia

Crediti in contenzioso = credits litigation /itigation over credits

"Crediti in sofferenza" = "credits overdue/bad debts"

debt claims / bad debts in italy


Explanation:
secondo me una linea del piano conti deve raggruppare le cose simili, in questo caso i crediti gia' concessi, quindi diventati debiti. E se c'e' una lite relativa a un credito, questa, secondo me, riguardi la concessione del credito anziche' il rimborso.

agree  Umberto Cassano: A peer once posted a NEUTRAL to an answer of mine saying "When answering KudoZ questions, it is not accepted practice to offer answers which have already been suggested" (albeit in notes or elsewhere). What do you think ? Anyway, I like your option

  -> *bad debts* is evident, and my suggestion relates exclusively to the whole context of *cr.ti in contenz/soff.za italia*. Yours, I guess, would be ideal for the line above *cr.in contenzioso*
