VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What should I do if the creditor refuses to accept the repayment? Can such claims ultimately be supported?

Whether support can be obtained depends on whether the evidence is sufficient, whether the legal relationship is clear, and whether the choice of procedure is appropriate. Our firm does not guarantee victory. If there is a clear basis for rights and a complete chain of evidence, the court or arbitration institution will usually support reasonable claims according to the law; otherwise, the risk will be higher. It is recommended to first sort out the facts and materials regarding the creditor's refusal to accept repayment, and evaluate the feasibility in accordance with Articles 568 and 569 of the Civil Code. If necessary, consult a professional lawyer.

Q2: What should I do if a creditor refuses to accept the repayment? What evidence do I need to prepare?

The core evidence should be organized around the basis of rights and the focus of the dispute, including proof of the identity and relationship of the parties, documents of rights and obligations, communication process and performance records, proof of losses or amounts, as well as materials that can prove the statute of limitations and jurisdiction. The more complete the evidence is, the more it can support the claim. The specific list can be compiled in accordance with the nature of the case, referring to Articles 568 and 569 of the Civil Code, to avoid missing key documentary evidence or electronic evidence.

Q3: If a creditor refuses to accept the repayment and you need a lawyer to handle it, what should you do and approximately how much will it cost?

The litigation fees are calculated according to the amount of the subject matter in stages, in accordance with the "Measures for the Payment of Litigation Fees", and are usually borne by the losing party. The attorney's fees, however, depend on the complexity of the case, the amount of the subject matter, and the workload. They are typically charged on a per-item basis, as a percentage of the subject matter, or on an hourly basis. The fees are negotiated between the law firm and the client and specified in the contract. There is no unified government pricing for these fees, and unlawful contingency fee arrangements are prohibited in related cases. It is recommended to clarify the fee calculation method and upper limit before entrusting the case, and to evaluate the cost-benefit ratio.

Q4: What should I do if the creditor refuses to accept the repayment, and how long does it usually take to resolve this issue?

The time required depends on the procedure and the circumstances of the case. For civil litigation, the first-instance ordinary procedure is generally completed within six months, and the summary procedure is completed within three months. For second-instance cases involving appeals, it is generally completed within three months. Criminal and administrative procedures each have statutory time limits. If appraisals, public notifications, or enforcement are required, the time period will be extended accordingly. Overall, it often takes several months from filing a case to collecting the payment. It is recommended to prepare for the timeframe in advance and pay attention to the time limits.

Q5: What should I do if the creditor refuses to accept the repayment? What should be my first step in this situation?

It is recommended to follow four steps: First, calmly review the facts and secure existing evidence; Second, clarify the legal relationship and the focus of the dispute, and check the relevant laws and time limits; Third, attempt to negotiate with the other party or apply for mediation; Fourth, if no agreement is reached and the evidence is sufficient, hire a lawyer to initiate litigation or arbitration within the statutory time limit to avoid missing the window for relief.
