Legal Questions About Debt? Get Free Advice!

Questioner

I live with my partner. We are not married and do not have a cohabitation contract. He has a debt with a bailiff and must fill in a declaration of income and expenditure. The bailiff indicates that he must also fill in my income and also send a copy of my pay slip. Can they demand this?

Lawyer

It is true that the bailiff can also ask for your income. You are - unfortunately - obliged to provide that. That is used to determine what the attachment-free amount is. I understand that no attachment has been made yet. That is why I advise proposing a payment arrangement or, depending on the situation and the size of the debt, to enter the WSNP process. I also advise you to put all movable property in your name.
