Before an attachment on assets

To order an attachment on your assets, we must first carry out attachment proseedings to determine how to cover the claim against you. We’ll notify you before we carry out the attachment proceedings. 

We can place an attachment on your assets

We can place attachments on real property, such as houses, holiday homes or plots of land. We can also place an attachment on bank accounts, securities, car, boats or other valuable moveable property on our own or through an enforcement officer. The main rule is that we can place attachments on all of your property and assets. You’re obliged to inform us of all your assets on which we can place attachments.

We’ll never place attachments on more assets than are needed to cover our claim.

For private individuals, we do not place attachments on:

• ordinary clothes, home contents or other personal objects as long as they do not have a high monetary value
• money to cover the necessary costs of living expenses until your next salary or benefit payment

If we place an attachment on your assets, you’ll get a mark on your credit record.

Attachment placed on a bank account

If we place an attachment on a bank account, the account will be blocked for the relevant amount. When the account is blocked, we can ask the bank to transfer all or part of this amount to us to cover unpaid claims.

Forced sale

If we place an attachment on your assets, we can use the attachment as a basis for a forced sale to cover your unpaid claims. You will receive a notification before we start a forced sale.
