Can a bailiff seize my laptop even though I'm a student?

Mi

It depends on what our laws look like… Since I've never read one, I'm definitely the wrong person to talk to. But I don't think he is allowed to, because it is not a luxury item for you (as long as it is not a super expensive laptop).

Theoretically - depending on the value of the device, an exchange attachment can take place.

Er

No, he mustn't. But he can seize the money you got for selling the laptop in case anyone wants to buy it.

Another exception would be if you had 5 laptops. Then theoretically he could have four liens. But hardly anyone does that because it is not worthwhile with laptops and a lot of other electronic waste. As a rule, they hardly bring anything.

Unfortunately, there's (still) no largely uniform case law.

Basically, the tendency of jurisprudence is that a computer for obtaining information and for communication is part of everyday life and would not be seizable (but then only one device - if there's e.g. A smartphone or tablet, the notebook could possibly be seized ).

An exchange attachment would also be possible if necessary.

If it is used professionally, it can be non-attachable - this also applies to students (studies with a view to future acquisition).

Usually it makes no sense for the bailiff to seize a notebook because the value is far too low - a notebook loses value so quickly that you can no longer achieve a noteworthy price at an auction.

What if you hide the things? Before the visit? Eg with a friend

Can you even prove that you are studying properly?

Otherwise you don't need one. Whereby you have several and can also hand over the others.

Nope. I sold everything to avoid attachment. Today I sold Macbook.

Di

You have no friends.

Di

Yes and?

You don't study at all, so you don't need a laptop either.

Today I saw hard workers working on construction sites.

CONSTRUCTION SITES everywhere.

I understood well why the clinic does not simply rate someone as incapable of performance.

That is holy money. Money comes from hard work!

Then up, apply for construction site work.

Then you make yourself liable to prosecution…
