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
- Open the Insolvency proceeding line on the customer account.
- Check displayed SIREN and correct it only from a reliable source.
- Choose Check to query BODACC on demand.
- Read proceeding type, judgment date, and the alert created in Billabex.
- 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.
