Court Judgment Obtained, Still Unpaid
In June 2022, I hired Aannemersbedrijf Koolmeyer BV for renovation works, including the construction of front and rear dakkapels.
The project was contractually agreed to be completed by September 2022. It was not completed on time, and significant defects remained. Despite several formal opportunities to remedy the issues, the work was not properly finished.
As a result, I initiated legal proceedings.
In December 2023, I obtained a final court judgment ordering Koolmeyer BV to pay approximately €42,000 in damages.
To date, this amount has not been paid.
Enforcement attempts through a bailiff have not resulted in recovery. Under Dutch law, enforcement against a BV can be complex when attachable assets are not immediately available, even when a creditor holds a valid court judgment.
Meanwhile, the company continues operating.
Because the works on the dakkapels were subcontracted, and due to the quality issues, I had to replace and repair them at my own expense (approx. €12,000 additional costs).
I encourage anyone considering working with this company to:
Conduct thorough due diligence
Verify financial standing
Carefully assess risk exposure
If you are another creditor or have experienced similar issues and would like to exchange information, you may contact me.
