Fees charged by the Enforcement Authority

We charge fees in order to cover the processing costs of a matter. These fees are set by the government.

Payment injunction/enforcement assistance

If someone owes you money or you want to have someone evicted, for example, we can help you establish the claim if you apply for a payment injunction/enforcement assistance. As applicant you have to pay a fee, but you can reclaim that fee from the person your claim is against.

Execution of a decision or ruling

You can apply to have a decision executed such as a ruling or a verdict that someone is obliged to pay you. That means we will help you coercively carry out what the decision says. In principle the fee should be paid by the person your claim is against, but if they are unable to pay, you as the applicant will have to. If an attachment is carried out later, the fee will be charged to the debtor at that point.

Can an applicant be exempted from paying the basic fee?

There are a few exceptions in which the applicant for execution may be exempt from paying the basic fee. These include damage claims in criminal cases and maintenance allowance claims.

Other costs not covered by fees

Sometimes costs can arise that are not covered by the fees. These might be costs that arise in a sale, for example. If they cannot be charged to the debtor, you as applicant may be liable for them. Call our customer service if you would like further information about such costs.
