Wrong identity, service evidence and the remedy
A letter in a Swiss enforcement file concerns a person whose name matches that of another resident. An old address is used, and the record contains a dispatch date but no clear proof of the legally relevant service event. The recipient challenges the service and also denies owing the money. Staff treat the letter as a universal suspension of every possible measure and assume the supervisory authority will finally adjudicate the debt. A representative then requests the complete file, including unrelated information about other people. The case requires neutral issue classification and accurate records. No exact statutory period is supplied, and the exercise does not ask the learner to invent a deadline or decide that service was valid from incomplete evidence.
1. Which separate inquiries should the office make?
Read the worked answer
Establish identity, current relevant address, actual service evidence and procedural stage. Separate a challenge to the office’s act from the route for contesting the debt. Check the specific effect of the remedy or order rather than assume universal suspension.
2. How should access and deadline analysis be handled?
Read the worked answer
Verify representative authority and the lawful scope of information access, protecting unrelated data. For timing, identify the governing rule, trigger and supported event dates. Dispatch alone should not automatically be substituted for service, and a missing fact should remain explicit until properly clarified.
