6. FAQ related to Bankruptcy Lawyer
(1) Who has the right and obligation to file for bankruptcy?
Persons with the right and obligation to file for bankruptcy include:
- Unsecured creditors and partially secured creditors have the right to file a request to open bankruptcy proceedings at the end of 03 months from the due date of the debt and the enterprise fails to fulfill its payment obligations;
- Employees, trade unions;
- Legal representative of the enterprise;
- Owner of a private enterprise, Chairman of the Board of Directors of a joint stock company, Chairman of the Board of Members of a limited liability company with two or more members...;
- Shareholders or groups of shareholders owning 20% or more of common shares for at least 6 consecutive months have the right to file a request to open bankruptcy procedures when the joint stock company becomes insolvent...
(2) Is bankruptcy a way to collect bad debts?
Bankruptcy can be considered a way to collect bad debts because:
In the process of conducting business activities, businesses conducting exchange activities, buying and selling goods, and providing services have appeared in the form of delayed purchasing, installment payments or borrowing with commitments to repay pay over time.
In fact, when a business cannot pay its due debt to creditors within the prescribed time, unsecured creditors and partially secured creditors have the right to apply to a competent court to request the opening of bankruptcy proceedings for that enterprise. The essence of filing a request to open bankruptcy proceedings for a creditor's indebted enterprise is that the law allows creditors to ask the court to collect debt on their behalf when they cannot collect the debt themselves.
In addition, debt collection and debt payment in bankruptcy are carried out through an intermediary agency, which is the court. This is different from the civil debt collection procedure where there is only the creditor and the debtor, meaning whoever owes the debt will claim it. The court, as an intermediary agency with jurisdiction to resolve bankruptcy, will represent creditors to collect debts from debtors, and represent debtors to repay debts to creditors.
Bankruptcy proceedings can therefore be seen as a way for unsecured creditors and partially secured creditors to collect bad debts from insolvent businesses.
