The Begınnıng Of The Collectıon
Firstly, the process starts upon the demand of the creditor regarding the collection by the Enforcement Office. Secondly, Enforcement Office sends an official payment order to the debtor. If debtor doesn’t object within the 7-day period, then the creditor may have the right to seize the assets of the debtor.
The Annulation Process
Debtor may object the debt and/or the jurisdiction within the 7-day period given by the Law No. 2004. As a result, creditor has to bring the matter to the court demand an annulation of the objection. Statute of limitations for annullation is one year, after Enforcement Office sends the objection to creditor. If there is a mandatory alternative dispute resolution provision such as mediation or arbitration, creditor should apply to the relevant authorities within the given statute of limitations. The court makes its decision based on the evidence provided by the parties. If the court decides in favor of the debtor, debtor eludes the enforcement. If the court decides in favor of the creditor, court annuls the objection creditor shall have the right to seize the assets of the debtor.
After Annulation
After annullation of objection, creditor may demand seizure from the Debt Enforcement Office, by submitting the seizure costs. Upon the demand of the creditor, Enforcement Office seizes the all assets of the debtor. Those assets include bank accounts, vehicles, salaries and real estates.
After seizure, creditor demands from the Enforcement Office for valuation and public auction of the seized assets. Enforcement Office distributes the collected amount among the creditors after the auction.
