Debt Collection Proceedings in Turkey

Anyone can initiate debt collection proceedings by making a written or verbal statement to the competent debt collection office at the place of residence of the debtor. 

Introductory procedure

Normally there are four stages in the introductory procedure:

1. Debt collection request: The debt collection office examines the debt collection request to ensure that it is in the correct form, but not as to whether the claim is justified. 
2. Summons for payment: The debt collection office issues the summons for payment. This is served on the debtor at his or her place of residence or work by an official or by post. The summons for payment contains an instruction to settle the debt or to make an formal objection. 
3. Formal objection: Debtors can contest unjustified debt collection proceedings by lodging a formal objection. No reasons for objecting need to be given. The formal objection must be lodged immediately with the bearer of the notice to pay, or within seven days with the competent debt collection office verbally or in writing. 
4. Dismissal of objection: The objection is dismissed if the creditor shows that the debtor actually owes the debt. The dismissal of objection can be either final or provisional.
