What Are the Common Reasons for Unsuccessful Debt Collection Attempts in Turkey?

Contributed by Emre Aslan, ANTROYA DEBT COLLECTION & LAW OFFICE (English, 中文), Turkey.

The most common reason for an unsuccessful collection attempt is when the debtor has no asset at all, or transfers its assets to another third persons in order to avoid seizure.

As a result, even if creditor has the right to seize the assets of the debtor and sell them, the attempt would be unsuccessful since there is nothing to make collection of.

In that case, creditor may file a complaint to the court and demand cancellation of the transaction – the action of transferring the relevant asset to another third persons – so that the movable and / or immovable asset turns to the debtor’s ownership and creditor may have the chance to seize it.
