Adjustment of amount to be refunded?

Questioner

We still have a credit of € 12,000; the judge has ordered the other party to repay this, but the amount has been set at € 30 per month during the corona period. Now we want this amount to be adjusted, the bailiff does not want to cooperate. The current lawyer wants to close the file. The other party has opened a new business so there is new income. Are there any options that will result in our money being paid back faster? By we I mean my ex and myself.

Lawyer

It appears that your current agreement with the other party has been determined by a judge, which means that any changes or amendments will likely have to go before the judge. It may be that the initial payment arrangement was made on the basis of what the other party could pay at that time. If you can show that the other party's financial situation has improved in the meantime, for example because they have opened a new business and there is new income, then it may be possible to enforce a higher monthly amount. The first step, however, will be to seek legal advice. You may want to find another lawyer in this case if your current advisor wants to close the file. It is imperative that you discuss this with a professional to know what further steps are best for you, considering the costs and the possible benefit. Also bear in mind that if you go to court to change the payment terms, you may have to bear the costs of this procedure. This is something you should consider and discuss with your new advisor before going this route. The starting point will remain, however, that a debtor does not have to pay more than he can afford, even if there is a judgment. That is why proof of new income is important. Such matters can be complex, so careful guidance is important.' ---------------- Stichting Rechtswinkel.nl is a national organization with students and volunteers.
