The debtor does not pay a money judgement voluntarily within fifteen days. What does Article 523 of the Code of Civil Procedure add?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. A ten percent fine plus ten percent in fees
- Step 1: Article 523 starts compliance with the sentence by request. Step 2. If the debtor does not pay in fifteen days, the debt receives a ten percent fine and ten percent in fees. Answer: A ten percent fine plus ten percent in fees. Why not the others: interest alone, a twenty percent fine without fees or doubling the debt are not what the Code provides.
