In Romania, can my supplier file insolvency over an unpaid invoice if I dispute the goods quality?

A supplier threatens to start insolvency proceedings unless I pay within 7 days, but I have written complaints and photos showing defects. I want to know if a contested debt can still be used to open insolvency and what steps I should take now.

In Romania, a supplier can file for insolvency only if certain legal conditions are met. If you have documented defects and you have already raised written complaints, that can materially affect whether such a filing can succeed.

That said, outcomes depend heavily on the concrete facts and the documents (contract terms, acceptance/hand-over, complaint timeline, payment terms, value threshold, and how the dispute is evidenced). The most important thing right now is to react in writing in a way that (i) preserves your rights on the defects and (ii) positions you correctly if the supplier actually files for insolvency.

If you wish, we can review your documents quickly and advise on the best immediate strategy (including the reply to the supplier and the procedural steps if an insolvency petition is filed).
