How we help with wrongful debt-collection or creditor harassment complaint

  • Evidence and document review

    Our review covers collection messages and call log, creditor or collector identity, debt statement and previous complaints. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

  • May a Saudi finance collector visit my home or call my relatives?

    SAMA's 2025 collection controls prohibit finance providers and their collection agents from visiting a customer or guarantor at home or work, or calling people other than the customer or guarantor. Telephone contact is limited to ten calls per thirty days per financing product during official working hours. These rules concern supervised financing to natural persons; do not apply them automatically to every private creditor. Preserve the collector's identity and contact records for a complaint. Record who contacted whom, the messages, frequency and any threats or disclosure to others. Keep the disputed balance separate from the conduct complaint. A legitimate debt does not answer every question about collection methods, and a conduct complaint does not automatically erase the debt.

Successful Defense of a Reconsideration Petition

This work sample concerns a petition for reconsideration of a final commercial judgment issued in the client’s favor for an amount exceeding SAR 771,000. CounselO Legal analyzed the complete file and reviewed the judgment, documents, contracts, and technical reports, then developed a defense strategy focused on protecting the prior judgment’s res judicata effect and demonstrating that the submitted documents did not change the outcome. After considering the petition and appointing an expert, the court accepted the petition in form but rejected it on the merits, lifted the stay of enforcement, and ordered the petitioner to pay the expert fees.

Bank Transfer Allocation in an Enforcement Dispute

This document is a legal case study examining whether a bank transfer constitutes satisfaction of an enforcement judgment or payment of a separate obligation. It concludes that the mere existence of a transfer, or its amount matching part of the debt, is insufficient to treat it as execution of the judgment; a direct link to the debt under enforcement must be proven. It also affirms that an independent electronic promissory note issued via the Nafidh platform, and its closure after payment, constitutes significant evidence of the obligation's independence from the enforcement judgment.
