The seized property is then auctioned off in order to recover the sums owed to the creditor. Three conditions must be met in order to proceed with a seizure and sale procedure. These include an enforceable title to enable enforcement measures to be taken; the movable property must belong to the debtor; and the bailiff must have a payment order. This order must be served on the debtor, giving them eight days from receipt to settle their outstanding debt.
