What happens when a Judicial Collection Procedure takes place?
- The amount of the debt is increased due to the administrative expenses, charging interests, default interests and lawyer’s fees.
- All the assets of the debtor are seized; and the salary and bank accounts frozen, until the trial starts.
- All seized assets are frozen, which means they cannot be sold or transferred to another person, without first liberating the asset from the obligation, which as a consequence means the payment of the debt to the creditor.
- As part of the seizure, a part of the salary of the debtor will be reduced, month after month, until he pays the debt. This process can last many years, depending on the salary and the amount of the debt.
