I want to add a note to people who aren't familiar - Sweden has a government debt collector[0]. Unlike the US where I'l told you can mostly dodge private debts and it just becomes a massive nuisance and credit nightmare, in Sweden the government will actually garnish your salary and repossess your stuff for private debts.

- Dma54rhs 6y agoI believe it's also called court bailiff and is fairly usual thing in the EU.
- mytailorisrich 6y ago> Sweden the government will actually garnish your salary and repossess your stuff for private debts.* It's called "attachment of earnings" in the UK there is no special agency for that, it's just a court order sent to the debtor employer. This also exists in most US states, I believe it's often called "wage garnishment" there. Repossession or seizure of property also exists in the US and the UK (and indeed most countries). Here in the UK there's even a TV show about that, with the cool name of "The Sheriffs are coming"...
