Application to get paid, execution

If you already have a ruling, a verdict, or a certified agreement for maintenance allowance, and you still haven’t been paid, you can apply to have the decision carried out, or executed.

How do you apply?

Use one of the following forms:

• Application for execution
• Application for execution (damages)
• Application for execution (maintenance allowance)

Your application must include the following information about you:

• name
• personal identity number or corporate identity number
• postal address
• BankGiro
• phone number
• contact details for a representative, if any

You also have to provide information about the person or entity your claim is against:

• name
• personal identity number or corporate identity number
• home address
• postal address

Also, bear in mind that:

• In an application for execution regarding a maintenance allowance, you need to specify your claim.
• If you have a claim based on a negotiable debt instrument, this must be enclosed in the original. If it is a promissory note, a photocopy is sufficient.

Remember to update your personal information when it changes. If you are applying for our help to collect a maintenance allowance, you are your child’s representative (as his/her guardian) as long as the child is a minor.

You can request that we collect the debt in accordance with a ruling or verdict before it has become final. However, we may not pay you any money collected until the ruling or verdict has become final. This means that the money will be paid to you once the ruling or verdict can no longer be appealed.

What about when your application is directed against several debtors?

If you request that we collect a debt from several individuals, i e several debtors, you have to submit an application for each one. It is important that all the applications are sent to the same office, even if one of the debtors belongs geographically to another office. You only need to include one copy of the ruling or verdict.

If your application concerns maintenance for several children, you have to submit one application for each child. The basic fee for an application is SEK 600 per year. You may have to pay additional costs in order for us to collect the debt.

Where should you send your application?

The postcode of the debtor’s home address determines which office you send the application to. An exception is applications concerning maintenance allowances, which always have to be sent to our Gävle office.

What happens after you’ve made the application?

Usually we contact the debtor and give him/her a certain period of time in which to pay. If the debtor does not pay the debt, we conduct an investigation into his/her finances that involves looking for attachable assets such as a salary or items we can sell in order for you to get paid.

Keep your account information up to date so that payments to you will arrive promptly.

If the debtor has no assets the debt will remain with us until it is paid or until you notify us that you are withdrawing the application.
