Peticija adresuota: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner is a debtor against whom the creditor (a bank) issued a request to a bailiff to pursue an enforcement case. From the power of attorney attached, it becomes clear that the mother of an employee of the bailiff represents the bank. This serves as evidence that there is a connection between the creditor and the bailiff, which undermines the impartiality of the bailiff and the pursuit of the enforcement case. The petitioner argues that the creditor and the bailiff have created a fraudulent scheme in which the creditors buy devalued property at fictitious auctions where the only bidder capable of making a valid offer is the bank.The petitioner points to the unlawfulness of acts where there is no written request to the competent court and, consequently, no commission from the court to carry out any coercive actions. In that regard, she calls for the European Parliament to apply the mechanisms needed to stop such practices in Bulgaria where the properties of consumers of credit services are being seized with the help of bailiffs.
