A friend has received an invoice from customs from the family budget that he has to pay 5000 euro, but he has no child benefit for 2 years, but was in training where his mother received or had the money.
One question, he lives at home and doesn't own anything big, a 5 year old TV at that time 200 euro, bought a used XBOX 360 for 50, a BluRay player 50 new, so 5 years old both.
And bought a used tablet for 50 and so 4 years old
And a Samsung A3 2017 also 3 years old
Can that be seized at a sum of 5000 in view of the age of the devices
The old stuff is guaranteed not to be seized because the costs for collection, storage, etc. Are far below the value and would not pay off any debts.
The XBox and the BlueRay player may be seized, but will not happen because of the age of the devices. The cost of collection and auction would exceed the value of the devices. He should agree to an installment payment with the creditor.
Get an invoice from the family benefits office that he has to pay 5000 euro, but he has no child benefit for 2 years, but and was in training where his mother got or had the money.
As recommended before, he should hire a lawyer!
Nobody will pledge the things because they are worth next to nothing. If now the bill came then he still has some time until a garnishment comes, until then he should take care that it does not come to that.
