Debt Enforcement for Someone Else’s Debt – How to Defend Yourself

Print

An enforcement officer rings your doorbell, but you don’t owe anything. You’ve never taken out a loan, yet your belongings are about to be seized. This nightmare scenario happens more often than you think – when you share a home with a partner, ex, or roommate who has debts. And suddenly, you must fight to protect what’s yours.

📌 This article is part of the complete legal guide for debtors: Debt Enforcement in the Czech Republic – Complete Guide for Debtors (Velký rozcestník)

Looking up phrases like “debt enforcement roommate,” “seizure of shared property,” or “ex-partner’s debts”? This article explains how to defend your rights.

In this article, you’ll learn:

  • When you may face enforcement for someone else’s debt

  • How to prove property ownership

  • What legal tools you can use

  • Common mistakes and risks


Examples and key facts

  • Ex-partner still registered at your address – the enforcement officer assumes the belongings are theirs.

  • Shared apartment with a debtor – enforcement may affect common areas.

  • Debts during marriage – joint marital property can be affected.

  • Co-signed loans or guarantees – enforcement may come directly to you.


Risks and frequent mistakes

  • Ignoring the first visit or letter

  • Not having receipts or proof of ownership

  • Hoping the bailiff “understands” the situation
