More and more often Reverta has to deal with debtors who either on their own or encouraged by others choose not to fulfil their liabilities and actively carry out unlawful actions to avoid repossession of their properties and thus cash that should enter the State budget is being misappropriated by groups of dishonest people. We are open to co-operation with any client having experienced difficulties that are honest in their efforts to overcome the hardship. At the same time we would like to appeal to the State institutions to adjust legislation in order to prevent possibility of such unlawful actions and to further recovery of the State investments in the most possible amount.

Already half a year ago Reverta, with the Association of Commercial Banks of Latvia acting as an intermediary, informed the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Latvia on the existing situation and asked to deal with issues affecting interests of mortgage lenders as a result of unlawful actions of debtors. The company also asked for a legislation initiative to prevent incompleteness of laws and regulations. Such incompleteness allows certain groups of persons to use unlawful methods, including counterfeiting of documents, presenting of fictitious agreements and organising of libel campaigns, and to destroy the very essence of the proprietorship thus affecting both the bank sector and the lawful rights of any person whose property is being selfishly abused by other persons.

One such example of unlawful actions is encumbering of compulsorily repossessed real estate with agreements, including lease or rental agreements, under the cover of which the property is used to make profit either by opening a business there or by leasing the property to a third party. Sometimes such agreements are concluded with an aim to allow the debtor and associated persons to use other person’s property free of charge and to deny the lawful rights of the new proprietors to use and dispose of their property. All this fraud is possible only because of the lengthy proceedings and the incomplete legislation.

Reverta has acquired information on active and determined actions performed by E.Millers, O.Ņevickis, A.Poika, V.Dzintare, N.Ņemilova, G.Vīksna and others to build such unlawful schemes and to profit from them. One such example is the fact that the above persons are mostly involved in repossession processes of expensive real estates (e.g. a private house on Cēres Street, Riga, exclusive apartments on Grēcinieku Street, Riga, private houses in the exclusive resort areas of Priedkalne and Jūrmala, high-end dwelling properties) by presenting encumbering agreements with obvious signs of one origin – the same persons involved, the same style, the same grammar errors.

Reverta would like to point out to the State institutions in charge of solving such issues – State police, Prosecutor’s Office and others, that the problem has been partially studied and recognized both at the private sector and State level, as a testimony to which serves the initiative of the State Revenue Service of the Republic of Latvia to order sworn court bailiffs to inform immediately on fraudulent lease or rental agreements encountered during their official duties in order to allow the State Revenue Service investigate whether relevant tax payments have been made or not and what are the origins of such payments.

With this letter Reverta publicly addresses the Ministry of Justice, the Ombudsman and certain parliament members who have showed interest in separate cases of unlawful actions by debtors with an appeal to solve these issues according to the legislation of the Republic of Latvia and the judicature of the Supreme Court Senate and to express their viewpoint based on real facts not biased viewpoint of one of the parties. For example, some parliament members have publicly commented on the openly fraudulent case of Ganu Street 1-11 after apparently getting learned only the viewpoint of one party and totally ignoring the rights of the lawful owner of the flat – Reverta.
In addition to applying to the State Police on unlawful actions of certain persons involving counterfeiting of documents and fraud

Reverta publicly calls law enforcement institutions to start active inspection of groups of persons that are building the fraudulent schemes and offering their services to debtors facing difficulties thus profiting on their account, as well as inspect lawfulness of their actions and their inter-connections in the unlawful deals.
In order to prevent the threat of the State and public interests Reverta is using all legitimate means to recover debts thus enabling recovery of the State investment.    

Sincerely,

AS Reverta CEO, Chairman of the Board,
Kristofers Gvillams
