In May 2017, Dynamite Netherlands came into contact with Ms. A. She had ordered a number of garments from H&M. As a result of a wrongly delivered payment reminder, arrears arose and Ms. A. was negatively registered in the BKR system with an A2 code. This left her in a figurative financial prison.
Mortgage rejected
Mrs. A. would like to buy her own home. When she found out she had a BKR registration, she was temporarily living in an acquaintance's house. She had to leave this house; and by April 1, 2017. She could not get a mortgage for her own home. She was registered as a defaulter on the BKR financial blacklist. Naturally, Ms. A. contacted H&M to reach a solution. Ms. A. explained everything to H&M and they understood her situation very well. H&M is going to remove the registration, is their response. However, the BKR threw a spanner in the works.
H&M's request to BKR to remove the registration in Ms. A.'s name is denied. This is a legitimate registration and cannot be removed, BKR says.
BKR subpoenaed
Mrs. A. turns to Dynamite Netherlands in desperation. Dynamite Netherlands immediately picked up the file in cooperation with their associated lawyers. From then on it goes fast. A summons was drawn up and BKR was taken to court in summary proceedings.
Settlement
Before the court hearing can take place, the BKR law firm let it be known that they would not dare to fight this out in court. The BKR immediately removed the entire registration.
This is not the only lawsuit Dynamite Netherlands has filed against BKR. On July 28, 2017, BKR was also ordered to immediately remove a registration of a client of Dynamite Netherlands.
