Scenario:
A is owed by B. No payment made by B after A has demanded for multiples times. A then blocked B’s car.
A should remove the objects blocking B’s car. This action may give rise to B bringing a nuisance action for creating an obstruction.
A can consider agreeing to an instalment plan with B to settle A’s debt.
A can issue a letter to B to demand for payment. The letter should specify the amount of debt, the deadline to pay the debt, the services rendered / the products supplied giving rise to the debt, and the timeframe to settle the debt.
After the specified timeframe for settling the debt has passed, A can follow up with B or claim directly through the court.
If the debt amount is not more than RM5000, A can claim through small claim.
If the debt amount is more than RM5000, A can consult a lawyer to pursue a claim against B.
B can discuss with A to agree with an instalment plan if B is facing financial difficulty.
B can request A to remove the objects blocking B’s car. If A refuses, B can lodge a police report.
If A is still refusing to remove the objects blocking B’s car, B can issue a letter to A requesting for removal. B can seek for remedy in court if A is continuously blocking B’s car.
