Debt collection in Poland

Unpaid freight invoices from a Polish company?

You hauled the load, the CMR is signed, the 45- or 60-day payment term has long passed — and the Polish freight forwarder or shipper has gone quiet. It is one of the most common cross-border claims in Europe: transport and logistics disputes make up a large share of the cases we recover.

Where the pressure lands

Freight documents are strong evidence

A signed CMR consignment note, the transport order and the invoice are usually all we need. Polish e-court practice treats documented freight claims as straightforward — most never need a hearing.

Leasing pressure works on fleets

Polish transport companies live on leased trucks and trailers. A BIG InfoMonitor entry is checked by every leasing and factoring company — for a carrier, a listed debt is an operational problem within days.

Watch the short limitation period

Claims from a contract of carriage are time-barred after just one year under the CMR Convention and Polish transport law (in some cases 15 months). Transport claims age faster than any other B2B debt — act early.

Frequently asked — unpaid freight invoices from a polish company

The forwarder keeps promising payment "next Friday". Is that normal?

It is the most common stalling pattern in Polish freight. Every week of delay reduces recovery odds, especially with the one-year limitation on carriage claims. A formal demand from a Polish operator usually ends the promises phase quickly.

I only have the transport order and CMR — no contract. Is that enough?

Yes. In carriage claims the transport order, the signed CMR and the invoice are the standard evidence set. We verify the debtor company automatically from Polish registers.

The Polish company disputes damage to the cargo. Can you still help?

Genuinely disputed claims may not fit the out-of-court path, but partial disputes rarely cover the whole invoice. We assess this for free — the undisputed part can usually be recovered normally.

Can you recover waiting time (demurrage) and pallet charges too?

Yes, if they are documented (order terms, records). They are added to the claim together with statutory interest and the fixed €40/€70/€100 recovery compensation per invoice.
