compulsory execution

Compulsory execution to forcibly collect a debt in Japan can be used either directly against the debtor and his or her assets, or in certain circumstances, against the debtor’s successor in interest or someone who has taken on the responsibilities of the debtor such as a guarantor.

Seizing a debtor’s property through compulsory execution can be one of the most efficient ways to collect on a debt that the debtor otherwise does not have the cash assets or willingness to pay.
