Debt collection in Poland

A Polish food importer has not paid you?

You delivered food products, fresh produce, ingredients or agricultural commodities to a Polish importer, processing plant or wholesale distributor — the goods were accepted, resold or processed, and your invoices remain unpaid.

Where the pressure lands

Late quality claims rarely survive scrutiny

Perishable goods must be examined on delivery — that is exactly why acceptance without protest matters. A complaint first raised months later, after resale or processing, is a recognisable stalling tactic under Polish law and the CISG, not a defence.

Trade credibility is the pressure point

Polish food wholesalers and processors run on supplier credit and factoring. A public registry listing plus a BIG InfoMonitor entry is visible to every supplier and financier who checks them — and is removed only after payment.

Recurring deliveries build strong files

Standing supply relationships generate orders, CMRs, delivery confirmations and account statements — evidence the Polish e-court processes without a hearing in most cases.

Frequently asked questions

The debtor accepted the goods without protest, then claimed defects after our demand. What now?

That sequence works in your favour. Acceptance without reservation, resale of the goods and a complaint appearing only after the payment demand form a documented pattern Polish courts recognise. The undisputed part proceeds normally.

Our produce was perishable — no formal acceptance protocol exists. Is that a problem?

Usually not. Delivery documents, temperature records where kept, and the absence of any contemporaneous complaint do the same work. Silence on delivery day is itself evidence.

The Polish buyer wants a "discount" to settle. Should we negotiate?

Unilateral post-delivery discounts are a classic tactic. Once a Polish operator, the registry and the BIG warning are in play, the negotiating position reverses — many such "discount" demands disappear.

Do you handle claims against fruit and vegetable wholesalers at markets (e.g. Bronisze)?

Yes. Market-based wholesalers are ordinary business debtors; the registry, BIG and e-court apply to them like to any Polish company.
