Federal Debt Collection and Bankruptcy Act
The rules regarding debt collection and bankrupty are set out in the Federal Debt Collection and Bankruptcy Act (SchKG) of April 1889 which is the oldest Federal Act of the Swiss Confederation still in force. The SchKG regulates the collection of monetary claims including foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings.
The SchKG sets out formal requirements regarding the collection of debt. For example, in bankruptcy proceedings, claims must be recorded correctly in the so-called Collocation Plan*, and unfounded third party claims against the debtor must be rejected.
Our attorneys will check your claims and take the appropriate steps to protect your interests.
