Debt Collection
Unfortunately, it is a frequent occurrence that individuals run up debts and subsequently take a ‘French leave’. Being the creditor and left behind with unpaid bills, one of course will want to take appropriate action. However, this is not as simple as it might seem, especially if the debtor has skipped the country.
Retrieving money from another country, can indeed prove to be an additional obstacle. Even though Dutch residents living in the Netherlands most of the time may consider the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba as foreign territory, owing particularly to the geographical distance, these islands still form part and parcel of the Kingdom of The Netherlands. Therefore, the communication between the different territories within this Kingdom is easier than with other parts of the world. There are, for instance, no language barriers and the applicable laws are almost identical.
As Bokkes Fontein Attorneys is established on Curacao and Bonaire, this opens the way to trace and institute lawsuits against debtors on these islands, but also on Aruba and other islands of the Netherlands Antilles. Whether that debt has been run up in the Netherlands Antilles, The Netherlands or elsewhere in the world, has no relevancy here.
The lawyers and staff members of Bokkes Fontein Attorneys can be helpful in collecting your money anywhere on the Netherlands Antilles and on Aruba by means of (extra)judicial debt collection procedures together with their ample experience, very often resulting in a positive outcome.
