What should I do if I owe money?
1. There are many ways to solve arrears disputes, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. As long as it is used in time and properly, it will get twice the result with half the effort. However, because some creditors often drag on for too long in the negotiation stage in order not to harm peace, they miss many opportunities to recover debts.
2. Applying for payment order is one of the effective ways to recover the arrears. According to the provisions of China's Civil Procedure Law, if a creditor requests the debtor to pay money or securities, he may apply to the grassroots people's court with jurisdiction for a payment order: there is no other debt dispute between the creditor and the debtor; A payment order can be served on the debtor.
3. If the debtor fails to pay off the debt within 15 days after receiving the payment order from the people's court, or fails to raise a written objection to the people's court, the creditor may apply to the people's court for enforcement. It can be seen that the biggest advantage of applying to the people's court for a payment order to recover the arrears is that the time is short and the effect is quick. Of course, if the debtor raises a written objection to the people's court within the statutory time, it must be handled through litigation.
