Frequently asked questions
I received a payment order. What should I do?
Note the date of service and get legal advice without delay. Any objection must be filed within the statutory period; after that the proceedings become final.
Do I need a court judgment to start enforcement?
No. Enforcement without a judgment is possible. If the debtor objects, the proceedings stop and the creditor must go to court.
