Seizure of employee's wages? Get free advice!


Questioner

I am an employer and have received a letter from an office listed in https://www.kbvg.nl/zoekeengerechtsdeurwaarderskantoor regarding the seizure of an employee's wages This is mandatory under Article 475 g of the Code of Civil Procedure. I understand that I must cooperate with this, but 1) the letter is signed with a signature, but not with the name of a bailiff so that I can see whether he is authorized to request this (http://www.registergerechtsdeurwaarders.nl/). Is this legally valid? 2) The letter steals a question that is not in http://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0005174/2002-01-01#BIJL631999, namely marital status and number of children. Does that affect the legal status of the request? 3) the letter mentions a period of 5 days, where I think 4 weeks is considered reasonable? Does that affect the legal status of the request and within what period do I have to comply? 4) no other documents have been added to the (digital) letter. Is a form of decision by, for example, a judicial authority conditional to having to cooperate? thanks for your help, have a good weekend (if you are still working today Friday)

Lawyer

It must be that you have received an official service of a bailiff. This means that a bailiff has placed a Writ of Service in your case, i.e. a third-party attachment. This cannot be done by sending a letter. I would like to read the documents you have received in order to assess whether the bailiff has acted correctly. If everything went well, you have 28 days to make the third-party declaration.
