Question Regarding Fraud
Hi everyone,
I'm dealing with a contractor dispute in Sweden and would really value advice from anyone who has gone through Kronofogden/court.
Situation
* Contractor: Peter Stenhammar / Brahe Plattsättning AB
* Paid upfront for renovations (bathroom, kitchen, doors, patio). in Feb 2024
* Work was partially done and largely abandoned:
* Bathroom dismantled, not functional (no fittings/electrics)
* Kitchen unusable
* Several items never started
* Long delays, poor communication.
ARN
* I filed with the Swedish Complaints Board (ARN).
* Decision in my favor: contractor to repay in Dec 2025
After ARN
* Contractor agreed to pay and set a deadline (31 March 2026) → missed.
* Minimal/late communication; still no payment.
Bailiff
* I first applied for enforcement → rejected (ARN isn't enforceable).
* I've now withdrawn that and filed a payment order instead.
Current status
* Waiting for the Bailiff to serve the claim.
⸻
Questions
1. Is payment order → ruling → enforcement the correct path here? Anything I should watch out for?
2. If he doesn't respond, how long does it usually take to get an outcome and proceed to enforcement?
3. If he objects, what should I expect in district court? Is ARN + written agreement to pay usually strong enough?
4. Any tips to maximize chances of recovery (bank accounts, salary, assets)?
5. Given the payment irregularities, is it worth filing a police report for fraud in parallel?
6. What about the house being completely unusable since no bathroom and kitchen since 2024

If he "bestrider" Kronofogdens demand, you will have to sue him in Tingsrätten. If he does not show up they will rule in your favour and Kronofogden can proceed with "utmätning" etc. If he does show in Tingsrätten Im guessing you will win considering you bring an ARN decision. Best of luck.A Amrita Laskar skrev:

If the company goes bankrupt you check if they made a "kontrollbalansräkning" when the capital in the company went below 50%. If they did not make a "kontrollbalansräkning" in time , the persons on the board are personally responsible for the companys debt.
