Deadlines for appealing against the enforcement of claims

You can appeal as long as legal enforcement of the claim has not been concluded.

  • In connection with attachment liens, you can appeal against the National Collection Agency's (NCA) decision or actions as long as NCA has not petitioned for enforced satisfaction of the claim (sale of security).
  • In connection with attachments of earnings, you can appeal against the National Collection Agency's (NCA) decision or actions as long as the deduction period has not expired.

You can also appeal against a decision by us to establish an attachment on these assets in particular, but, in such case, you must appeal within one month of having been informed of the attachment.

Other deadlines for appealing can vary from case to case. We will inform you about them by letter.


What happens when you have submitted an appeal?

We consider appeals within three weeks of receiving them.
We will consider whether we will reverse our decision before forwarding the appeal to the correct authority, if relevant.

If your claim is cancelled, any excess amount you have paid will be repaid to you.
