GALLINA USA, LLC \u2014 a multinational extruder of polycarbonate sheets, panels, and architectural systems \u2014 learned that <strong>extrajudicial collection in Mexico<\/strong> can resolve a stalled B2B account without ever filing a lawsuit. This is the story of how ATIVO helped GALLINA USA recover half of an account receivable that had been outstanding since 2024, in just three months.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The Accounts Receivable Challenge for Manufacturers Selling Into Mexico<\/h2>\n<p>Manufacturers that extend credit to Mexican buyers face a structural risk: invoices are rarely backed by an executable instrument, follow-up is often informal, and by the time a receivable is truly overdue, the company managing it internally has little leverage left. As explored in ATIVO's guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/ativo-mx.com\/portal\/alternatives-for-overdue-accounts-receivable-collection-specialist-in-mexico\/\">overdue accounts receivable recovery options in Mexico<\/a>, the sequence that works is extrajudicial first, judicial only when extrajudicial efforts are exhausted \u2014 and the earlier a specialist is engaged, the higher the recovery rate.<\/p>\n\n<h2>GALLINA USA's Challenge: A Stalled Receivable Since 2024<\/h2>\n<p>GALLINA USA had an outstanding account receivable with a Mexican customer dating back to 2024. Internal follow-up had not produced a resolution, and the account sat in the kind of limbo that quietly erodes cash flow: not written off, not collected, and increasingly difficult to act on the longer it remained untouched.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The ATIVO Solution: Extrajudicial Collection Mexico, Step by Step<\/h2>\n\n<h3>Case Diagnosis and Debtor Verification<\/h3>\n<p>ATIVO began by reviewing GALLINA USA's documentation and verifying the debtor's current standing, establishing a factual basis for negotiation rather than relying on the debtor's own representations.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Structured Negotiation and Extrajudicial Collection<\/h3>\n<p>ATIVO's team engaged the debtor directly through professional, documented collection contact \u2014 the same approach that resolves the majority of B2B cases in Mexico without litigation.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Preparing Judicial Alternatives as Leverage<\/h3>\n<p>In parallel, ATIVO presented GALLINA USA with the <a href=\"https:\/\/ativo-mx.com\/portal\/law-firm-in-mexico-vs-collection-specialist\/\">judicial alternatives available under Mexican commercial law<\/a> to enforce payment, so the company understood its full range of options \u2014 and so the debtor understood that judicial escalation was a real, prepared next step, not an empty threat.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Results and Metrics: 50% Recovered in Three Months<\/h2>\n\n<img src=\"https:\/\/ativo-mx.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/results-extrajudicial-collection-mexico.jpg\" alt=\"B2B accounts receivable recovery Mexico results\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 0 28px;border-radius:4px;\">\n\n<p>Within three months, ATIVO recovered 50% of the outstanding account receivable through extrajudicial collection alone. For GALLINA USA, that meant:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"ativo-numbered-list\">\n  <li>Real cash recovered on a receivable open since 2024, without the cost or timeline of litigation<\/li>\n  <li>A clear, documented judicial path prepared for the remaining balance if needed<\/li>\n  <li>Direct visibility into every stage of the process, in English<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<a class=\"ativo-cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ativo-mx.com\/portal\/formulario\/\">Is your receivable following the same pattern GALLINA USA faced? Request a free portfolio assessment<\/a>\n\n<h2>What This Means for Other International Companies Collecting in Mexico<\/h2>\n<p>GALLINA USA's case reflects a pattern ATIVO sees across manufacturing and industrial clients selling into Mexico: a receivable does not need to go to court to be recovered, and it does not need to sit unmanaged while a company decides what to do next. As covered in ATIVO's <a href=\"https:\/\/ativo-mx.com\/portal\/tip-collection-specialist-in-mexico\/\">tips for B2B debt recovery in Mexico<\/a>, engaging a specialist who can move between extrajudicial and judicial paths \u2014 without changing providers \u2014 is what separates a recovered receivable from a written-off one. It's the same structural approach behind <a href=\"https:\/\/ativo-mx.com\/portal\/success-story-bridgestone-mexico-effective-receivable-management-in-mexico\/\">ATIVO's success story with Bridgestone Mexico<\/a>, another international manufacturer that turned a difficult accounts receivable portfolio into a measurable recovery.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What Dave Corbliss Says About Working with ATIVO<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"ativo-pullquote\">\n  <span class=\"ativo-quote-flag\">Suggested testimonial \u2014 pending client confirmation before publishing<\/span>\n  \"Working with ATIVO gave us clarity on a receivable that had been sitting unresolved since 2024. Within a few months we recovered half of what we were owed, and just as importantly, we now understand exactly what our options are for the remainder.\"\n  <span class=\"ativo-quote-author\">\u2014 Dave Corbliss, GALLINA USA, LLC<\/span>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<div class=\"ativo-faq\">\n<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>How long does extrajudicial collection take in Mexico for a B2B account receivable?<\/strong><br>\nMost B2B cases resolve through extrajudicial collection in 30 to 90 days when the debtor is locatable and responsive. GALLINA USA's case resolved within three months.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What happens if extrajudicial collection doesn't recover the full account receivable?<\/strong><br>\nThe account can be escalated to judicial collection \u2014 typically the <em>juicio ejecutivo mercantil<\/em>, an executive commercial lawsuit regulated under Mexico's C\u00f3digo de Comercio (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.diputados.gob.mx\/LeyesBiblio\/pdf\/CCom.pdf\">Article 1391<\/a>), which allows asset seizure once an executable title is in place.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Can a foreign company like GALLINA USA pursue judicial collection in Mexico without a local legal team?<\/strong><br>\nYes, provided the collection partner has in-house judicial capability. This avoids handing the case to a separate law firm, which resets timelines and loses case context.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>For international companies with an account receivable in Mexico that isn't moving, ATIVO structures the same extrajudicial-first, judicial-ready approach that recovered 50% of GALLINA USA's balance in three months.<\/p>\n\n<a class=\"ativo-cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ativo-mx.com\/portal\/formulario\/\">Talk to ATIVO about your outstanding accounts receivable in Mexico<\/a>\n\n<div class=\"ativo-contact-block\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0;color:#ffffff;\">\ud83d\udce9 <a href=\"mailto:info@ativo-mx.com\">info@ativo-mx.com<\/a> &nbsp;|&nbsp; \ud83d\udcde <a href=\"tel:+525575839900\">55-7583-9900<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a Mexican customer stops paying, most international suppliers assume court is the only path forward.
