It's true in the sense that in most countries the creditor must send the demand letter as a recommended signed to the debtor and has to prove that the debtor has read the actual message in the letter in order to proceed with a collecting procedure in civil court. The reason that is so is because the debtor have a legal right within a time frame (mostly 30 days) to object the demand from creditor in court, so that the debtor automatically will not be judged in default without being heard and informed about the demand.Unfortunately not. The practice of just sending the letter to the address to the addressee and it then being assumed as received and acknowledged is not applicable everywhere, thus if they send a letter to a foreign address, and it gets send back, they have no recourse.
So in Sweden that principle works, but not in other countries, there the letter MUST be sent as a recommended signed for letter to be acknowledged. Besides the law is in many places different than in Sweden; he who demands needs to prove that you have received and read the contents of the letter. Without that signature you have no proof. That is why in many countries the incasso procedures run through recommended letters at a certain point, because otherwise they lose in court.
What counts under Swedish law, does not count everywhere ;-), and thank God for that.
Sweden is the exception when it comes to the debtor has to prove that he or she doesn't have a debt in order to avoid seizure of assests by the court (Kronofogden). In the other countries that is opposite. There must the creditor provide evidence to the foreign court that the debtor has a debt by showing some sort of a loan contract or agreement with the debtors signature included. If the creditor can't provide these documents they will lose the case in civil courts abroad. In many countries the court requires that the creditor has to prove for it's demand in order to win the case and seizure the debtors assets.
It doesn't matter if it's a state or private debt, the creditor has in every case they operate in a foreign juridical legal instance provide evidence that there is a debt in the first place.
