The association comprises 25 homes in a bungalow park, where approximately half of the owners have a permit to live there all year round. The board consists of 3 members. Once a year, during the general meeting of members that takes place in March\/April, the contribution for that year is determined. Now one of the members refuses to pay this contribution, even after repeated requests. He has demands and wants a written promise that these demands will be met, after which he will pay. We as the board say that only after he has paid will his demands be looked at and, if possible, met. We have informed him in 2 registered letters that we will hire a debt collection agency. This is what we want to do now, but how do you go about something like that?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\n \nI advise you not to hire a collection agency, but a lawyer who understands this issue. There is no mandatory membership with all its consequences.\n\n This is because it is not an association of owners as referred to in Book 5 of the Civil Code. The issue will therefore have to be examined in terms of content.\n\n For further advice\/assistance, you can contact one of the lawyers here directly without obligation, e.g. via the 'direct contact' link that you will see with this answer if you are logged in.\n\n I'm happy to help you with this.\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n You can approach a collection agency or lawyer with the request to proceed with the collection of the claim. This lawyer will then take care of a collection process, and if necessary submit the case to the subdistrict court.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\n \nI do not agree (exceptionally) with Mr Van Binsbergen. It is better to avoid a debt collection process and a procedure. This can be done by having a lawyer who has substantive knowledge of the matter directly and motivated convince the other party of certain things.\n\n I'm happy to help you with this.\n\n\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thank you for your response and offer to help. We as a board will discuss and keep you informed.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55019155325277,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-8898-wij-zijn-een-vereniging-van-eigenaren-de-vereniging-behelst-25-woningen-in-een-bungalowpark-waarbij","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
