Frequently asked questions

What is the discharge of remaining debts (exoneração do passivo restante)?
It is the mechanism that allows an insolvent individual to be released from remaining debts after a period of income assignment (currently 3 years), starting over without the weight of past liabilities.
My company has debts but is viable. What are my options?
The PER allows you to negotiate a payment plan with creditors under judicial protection, suspending enforcement actions during negotiations. It is designed for economically viable companies in financial difficulty.
I am a creditor of an insolvent company. How do I recover my credit?
You must file your claim within the deadline set in the insolvency declaration. Your position in the ranking of credits (secured, privileged, ordinary) determines the likelihood of recovery — and reaction deadlines are short.
