What to do now

  1. Do not deliver on credit any more without an agreement with the curator.
  2. Gather your documents: invoices, purchase orders, contract, delivery notes and reminders.
  3. File your proof of claim in RegSol (regsol.be), yourself with eID or itsme, or through your lawyer. State principal, interest and costs separately, and any preferential right you hold.
  4. Delivered under retention of title? Reclaim your goods before the first report on the verification of claims.
  5. Ask your accountant about the VAT on the unpaid invoices: in a bankruptcy it can be recovered under conditions.
  6. Follow the file in RegSol: the verification report (admitted or disputed) and the curator's reports appear there.

The deadlines above come from the publication of the judgment. Check them in RegSol before you file anything; a passed deadline no longer applies.
