Utmätning

Attachment (utmätning) is when the Enforcement Authority (Kronofogden) seizes wages or property to pay debts. It can happen when someone has not paid and a creditor requests help to get their money. Since it is a government agency that carries out the measure, it follows fixed rules, including that the person in debt is to keep enough to cover their necessary expenses.
