1. What is a payment order?
A payment order is a simplified court decision ordering payment of a debt without a hearing, issued based on the creditor’s documents. It is a fast way to recover money if the debtor does not respond.
2. Deadline for filing an objection
After receiving a payment order, you have 15 days to file an objection. If you don’t respond, the order becomes final and enforceable.
3. How to file an objection
The objection must be submitted in writing to the court that issued the order.
It must include your identification details, case reference, date, and signature.
In the objection, state your reasons for disagreeing – e.g., denying the debt, limitation, incorrect amount, or flawed documents.
4. What happens after filing the objection
Filing an objection cancels the payment order and the court will initiate regular proceedings, where you may be summoned for a hearing and present evidence.
5. Common mistakes when filing an objection
Not stating specific reasons.
Filing after the 15-day deadline.
Unsigned or incomplete document.
Ignoring further court summons or notifications.
