Portfolios and assigned claims
Claiming public-sector credit in blocks, not file by file.
Does your case qualify?The service
We act for funds, SPVs and servicers holding credit acquired against the public sector. We verify the chain of title and the notification of the assignment, group the claims by debtor body and by procedural route, and pursue them as a block rather than one file at a time.
- Against whom
- The debtor bodies in the portfolio
- Route
- Claims in bulk, by body and by route
- What you get
- A status report per block
Four steps, and at each one you know what you provide and what we do.
We verify the claim is yours
We review the chain of assignments and the notice to the assigned debtor. An unnotified assignment is the debtor body’s most common objection, and the easiest to defuse before filing.
The portfolio is ordered
Claims are grouped by debtor body, by procedural route and by state of proceedings. What can go together, goes together, and what is time-barred is set aside.
Claims are brought in blocks
Each group enters through its own route, one submission per body instead of one per invoice. That is what makes a portfolio viable that would not be file by file.
A status board, not an inbox
You get the state of each block, the milestones passed and the ones coming, in a format you can take to your committee without translating it.

When Non-Payment Becomes Expropriation
Article 6 § 1 protects the process. Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 protects the money. Pleading both is not belt-and-braces — they lead to different remedies and different arithmetic.

When Non-Payment Is a System, Not an Incident
When the same violation reaches Strasbourg thousands of times, the Court stops deciding it case by case. Being inside a pilot procedure changes both a creditor’s timetable and their leverage.

When a Municipality Doesn't Pay: Can the European Court of Human Rights Help You Recover Your Debt?
Local authorities sometimes fail to enforce judgments against themselves, leaving creditors without recourse. The European Court of Human Rights has consistently held that non-enforcement of final rulings breaches Article 6 § 1 and Protocol No. 1.
