Attachments on assets
If your business or organisation has an unpaid claim that we're enforcing, we can place an attachment on the assets. This means that the assets we've placed an attachment on can later be sold to cover the claim.
Before an attachment on assets
To place an attachment on assets in your business or organisation, we must first carry out attachment proceedings to determine how to cover the claim you owe. We’ll usually notify you before making the decision.
We can place an attachment on the assets in the business
We can place an attachment on real property, such as houses, holiday homes, or plots of land. We can also place attachments on bank accounts, securities, vehicles, boats, or other valuable movable property. As a rule, we can place an attachment on any property or assets belonging to the business or organisation. You’re obliged to inform us of all your assets on which an attachment can be placed.
We’ll never place an attachment on more assets than are needed to cover the claim.
If we place an attachment on any assets belonging to your business or organisation, a mark on its credit record will be registered.
If we place an attachment on your bank account, the account will be blocked for the relevant amount.
When the account is blocked, we can ask the bank to transfer all or part of that amount to us to cover unpaid claims.
When we place an attachment on your or your business's assets, we can use the attachment as a basis for a forced sale to cover your unpaid claims.
You'll receive a notification before we start a forced sale.
To remove an attachment on assets, you must pay the claims that have led to the attachment.
As a general rule, you can appeal the attachment placed on assets until we’ve requested a forced sale of the attached asset.
Deadlines for appealing can vary from case to case. You’ll find the appeal deadline regarding your case in the letters you receive from us.
