Debt collection
Hi everyone, I had an issue with a foreigner hating Finn.
He has been convicted for a crime against me and he has been sentenced to pay me damages.
The court order says, he has to pay me damages for 2 accounts of criminal acts (2x750€) and the interest of 7% above EURIBOR, will be due as well, from the date of the verdict.
It has been for enforcement at ulosotto for ever since and I had to renew it already 2 times to keep it active, as it currently is.
His wife got 120.000€ inheritance but he has not paid a dime ever.
How would I be able to get my awarded damage payment of almost 2000€, from him?
Anyone any idea... It seems the guy keeps being jobless and without assets on purpose...he even refuses jobs offered by TE office so he gets punished with lower unemployment benefits by Kela, is there any way to have his wife pay for it hence they are married..?
Is there a way to get items from their home and have them sold to cover the due amount? Because they are married, house hold goods which are not registered on someones name, like TV's and tablets playstation and things like phones can easily add up to the amount collected or is too simply thought...
I hope you all have some useful advice for this...

Re: Debt collection
There is no joint liability due to marriage (for such a debt). If he stays without assets until the time limits for enforcement, you will get nothing.NukkuMatti wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 2:57 pmHi everyone, I had an issue with a foreigner hating Finn.

This is why Finland is a great country to be poor in, the law protects the poor and punishes the rich.betelgeuse wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 3:52 pmThere is no joint liability due to marriage (for such a debt). If he stays without assets until the time limits for enforcement, you will get nothing.

If you got to change the laws, how would you write them?jaatelo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:51 pmThis is why Finland is a great country to be poor in, the law protects the poor and punishes the rich.betelgeuse wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 3:52 pmThere is no joint liability due to marriage (for such a debt).

Re: Debt collection
I would not change the law here in this instance.betelgeuse wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 10:10 pmIf you got to change the laws, how would you write them?
Debt collection and enforcement itself costs money.
The OP better hope that the debtor finds a job soon.

Re: Debt collection
In the country I originally come from, there is a system in place that regulates / takes care of this problem.
If a victim of a crime is awarded damages by a court verdict, the state will pay those if the perpetrator / convicted, cannot.
Is this in Finland possible?

Re: Debt collection
"You can be compensated for personal injury and suffering".
I don't suppose the OP was personally injured in this case.
I think he would spend a lot of time claiming this money and in the end it probably won't be worth the effort.

Re: Debt collection
First of all, I have time enough....
2000€ is a lot of money for me so it is always worth the effort.
The awarded damages in court were for personal injury and suffering..the standard amount was awarded of 750€ per incident.
The actual damages are even higher, (installation of an alarm system, subscription to the alarm service provider, additional security camera's etc.
So I will have a look at that page at: https://www.valtiokonttori.fi/en/servic ... e-victims/
And lets see what I can accomplish there... as jaatelo already said, it might take a lot of time but I will update the result here when I have any...FYI.
Thanks again Betelgeuse

Let us know how it goes, how long it takes and whether you'd be asked to pay taxes on it.NukkuMatti wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 8:51 amFirst of all, I have time enough....

What should have been done is to garnish a part of his social assistance to teach him a lesson, but then again rights of such societal cretins are more important these days. Gone are those days when there were consequences for actions.
