Number of debts for which a recovery mission has been entrusted to a bailiff

Where the simplified recovery measures provided for by the legislation do not make it possible to recover effectively, the AGPR may entrust a recovery task to a bailiff. The AGPR relies on datamining models to determine the cases for which recovery via a bailiff can be beneficial. The table shows the number of debts, classified by type of debt, for which a judicial officer has been entrusted with a task. There was a significant drop in this number in 2020, due to the coronavirus crisis and the desire not to worsen the financial situation of debtors. Due to changes in the different IT applications, the data reported for non-tax claims, SECAL debts and criminal fines are not complete for the years prior to 2021.
