Have you lent money to your colleague or friend and haven't seen the money since? - enforcing money claims

It is often the case that someone gives a friend"s loan to an acquaintance and unfortunately does not get it back within the agreed deadline. This and similar cases can be solved by the Payment Order, which avoids litigation in good cases and in any case provides a cheaper and faster solution.

Of course, proceedings in front of a lawyer or a notary public also have a fee, but only 3% of the amount claimed, minimum of HUF 5,000, compared to the 6% fee payable during litigation.

The procedure is not a lawsuit, ie in the "basic case" there is no need to go to court, argue with the debtor, etc., but a duly completed and electronically transmitted document is issued by the Hungarian Chamber of Notaries, (MOK) system. If the debtor does not object to the contents of the received order within the legal term from the receipt, ie within 15 days, the contents of the order become final, which is fully equivalent to a court judgment, which in many cases is preceded by several years of litigation. If the debtor objects within this period, the proceedings will continue in accordance with the rules of civil proceedings. Notary does not decide in a dispute, it is the jurisdiction of the Court. We can only enforce our claim up to HUF 3 million by means of a payment order, but - in view of the above benefits - it may be worth initiating an order even in the case of an amount exceeding this.

It is important to know the exact address of the debtor in all cases, because in the absence of this, our claim cannot be enforced by this procedure, but only through litigation.

It is also important that if someone receives one, read it carefully and, if you feel it is illegal, submit your objection within the deadline.

It should be natural that if the post notifies us of the arrival of a postal item, we will always pick it up, thus avoiding surprises. From my own practice, I am aware of several cases where someone had to soon face the executor of payment with a non-accepted payment order to pay a non-necessarily legal claim, ie. an order has become final and enforceable due to the presumption of service without the addressee knowing this.
