One of our terminated loans was fully repaid in July 2023.
LT0000542 – terminated at 2023-03-08
The loan agreement was secured with a land plot with buildings. The borrower encountered financial difficulties and failed to make any payments from December 7, 2022. As a result, the Heavy Finance team initiated debt recovery actions, sent official notices, and ultimately terminated the loan agreement on March 8, 2023. The notary granted an enforcement order on June 28, 2023. The borrower was informed about the beginning of debt recovery proceedings and actively searched for a creditor for loan refinancing. Between June 30 and July 3, 2023, the debtor made two payments that effectively cleared all outstanding instalments, ensuring our investors have been repaid.
Recovery
In July 2023, 2.5K EUR was recovered from defaulted loans (loans where the contract with the borrower is terminated, and a rigorous recovery process was initiated) and subsequently distributed to investors. The total funds recovered from defaulted loans now amount to 1.02M EUR.
The following chart depicts the recovery timeline. The full principal amount that defaulted in the second half of 2021 has been successfully recovered along with interest, resulting in an impressive 110.35% recovery rate.

A total of 213K EUR entered a default state at some point during their life cycle. At present, all the loans are undergoing legal proceedings.
A noteworthy portion of these delinquencies originated from uncollateralized loans, prompting us to temporarily suspend the origination of such loans and shift our attention towards pledged loans. While the recovery process for uncollateralized loans is time-consuming, the HeavyFinance team is actively working on promising developments.
We anticipate a positive upturn in the overall performance of the Portugal portfolio in the upcoming months, driven by the rise in collateralised loans and the recuperation of defaulted loans.
Happy investing!
