A trustee is then appointed who inventories all debts of the bankrupt company and distributes them proportionally among all creditors. These are often different parties, with consumers unfortunately not at the top of the list.\n\n First, payment is made to the so-called preferential creditors, such as the Tax Authorities and the UWV, who are considered by law to be the first creditors. Then the concurrent creditors come into play, such as suppliers, banks, and consumers such as yourself.\n \nIf there is any money left, it is divided among the concurrent creditors, but in practice there is often not enough money to pay these creditors in full. This means that there is unfortunately a chance that you will not get your money back.\n\n I advise you to contact the trustee of the company R. You can register yourself as a creditor and thus stay informed about the settlement of the bankruptcy. It is not a guarantee that you will get your money back, but it is the correct procedure in this situation.\n\n If you have any further legal questions or need assistance in taking steps in this process, I recommend that you contact a specialized lawyer or attorney.'\n\n ----------------\n \nStichting Rechtswinkel.nl is a national organization with students and volunteers.
