Distribution of Money
Attachment, Sale, and Collection

Enforcement Proceedings and Legal Remedies
Money entering an enforcement file does not mean the creditor can immediately withdraw it. Its source, the file's account, prior rights, and any other creditors must be assessed. Procedures may remain between receipt of funds and net recovery.
When Is Distribution of Money Considered?
Meeting expenses and distributing proceeds to right holders after realisation is a separate enforcement stage. If the proceeds do not cover all claims, a distribution schedule becomes relevant. Principal, interest, expenses, legal fees, and partial payments must be shown clearly in the account.
For example, the allocation of payments made by a debtor into two different files may cause a dispute. The portion of sale proceeds allocated to an earlier secured claim differs from the amount remaining for your file. Payment receipts should make it possible to trace why the account closed at a particular amount.
Examine the Remedy and the Stage of the File Together
The total debt in the file must not be confused with proceeds from one attached asset. Claims in other files, security rights, or the finalisation status of a precautionary attachment may affect distribution. A challenge to the distribution calculation or schedule requires separate examination of the remedy and timetable. Merely telephoning the enforcement office does not preserve rights.
