In addition to enforcement proceedings, which offer various alternatives for paying the debt in installments rather than lump sum, there is also the right to object to the applications during the execution of seizure procedures. Since enforcement lawsuits involve multiple processes, it is very important that they are conducted by a professional lawyer.
When Does Enforcement Proceeding Start?
The reason for initiating enforcement lawsuits is debt. Debt is a legal relationship where the creditor has the right to demand and the debtor is responsible for paying the debt. While debt is a legally proven obligation, the non-payment of a due debt on time and the payment of a long-unpaid debt with interest are also present in the debtor-creditor relationship. It is evident that for an enforcement proceeding and seizure procedure to be initiated for a debt, the existence of the debt and its legal proof are necessary. Upon proof of the debt, the creditor sends a notification to the debtor for the payment of the debt. If no response is received within the notification period, the debt information is sent as a warning letter, requesting the debtor to pay the debt. If the debt is not paid within this period, the debtor's assets are investigated, and seizure procedures for assets corresponding to the debt can be initiated.
Enforcement proceeding begins after following a certain process. To initiate an enforcement proceeding:
- A petition is submitted to the Enforcement Office.
- Upon the enforcement proceeding petition, a payment order or execution order is served by the Enforcement Directorate.
