Insolvency proceedings and BODACC checks

Read BODACC status, run a reliable check, and respect the pause tied to open proceedings.

Updated

In short

Billabex checks the public BODACC registry daily for relevant French accounts and also supports an on-demand check using SIREN. Detected safeguard, receivership, or liquidation pauses collections and creates an alert. Automatic resumption happens only after a closure publication; an early manual resume is corrected by the next daily check.

Expected result

The account shows SIREN, latest verified status, and a pause consistent with the public proceeding.

Before you start

  • Confirm the company SIREN before a manual check.
  • Do not make a legal decision from the interface label alone.

Procedure

  1. Open the Insolvency proceeding line on the customer account.
  2. Check displayed SIREN and correct it only from a reliable source.
  3. Choose Check to query BODACC on demand.
  4. Read proceeding type, judgment date, and the alert created in Billabex.
  5. Keep collections paused and route the case to the appropriate specialist.

What Billabex does

The check uses the public, keyless BODACC API for French companies. An open proceeding adds a dedicated pause reason; closure removes only that reason without lifting a separate manual pause.

If the result is not what you expected

  • An unknown or unresolved status first calls for SIREN verification.
  • BODACC does not cover foreign insolvency proceedings.
  • Use the public BODACC source and qualified advice for legal interpretation.
