The myriad of methods for banks to
chase for debtors
Chasing for debtors is really a strained
race that commercial banks have to use all of their mental power and material
resources to obtain their goal.
Under the current laws, one asset could be used by one
borrower to mortgage at different banks for different loans. As a result,
once the borrower falls into insolvency, all the banks have the right to
distrain the asset for collecting debts. In the race for distraining the
asset, only the most “nimble footed” can win.
In 2012, Bianfishco, a big seafood company in Can Tho
City, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, became the “aiming point” of many
creditors. The four powerful commercial banks namely VDB (the Vietnam
Development Bank), the Saigon-Hanoi Bank, which represented Habubank, the
lender, after the merger, BIDV (the Bank for Investment and Development of
Vietnam) and ACB (Asia Commercial Bank) all stated that they were the
involved parties in the sum of 25 million of Bianfishco’s stakes that Nguyen
Thi Dieu Hien, the owner of Bianfishco, mortgaged for the loans.
The race for collecting debts from Bianfishco was then
so strained, partially because while creditors were strongly determined to
ask the debtor to pay debts, the real owner of Bianfishco, Dieu Hien, was in
the
In fact, the big guy in the seafood sector was the
debtor of many other banks. A report about Bianfishco’s debts submitted to
the Prime Minister showed that the businesswoman owed VND1.3 trillion to 10
commercial banks in total.
Another well-known debtor was the Phuong Nam Food
Processing Company. In September 2012, as soon as realizing that the company
might fall into insolvency, a series of creditors, mostly banks, came forward
and asked the company to pay debts.
Like Bianfishco, the president of Phuong
Most recently, local newspapers have reported an
occasional case, in which seven commercial banks tried to distrain the assets
of Truong Ngan Company in Binh Duong province to collect debts.
The 7 banks sent their staff to the company’s
storehouse, where the workers were asked to supervise it, which their
believed contained of thousands of tons of coffee. The coffee products were
the only collateral Truong Ngan mortgaged at the 7 banks for the loans.
Once Truong Ngan reportedly fell into the insolvency,
the 7 banks rushed to the company in a hope to get coffee instead of the
money. They had to hurry to the company for the debt collection, because the
early comers are believed to have bigger advantages than others in claiming
the debts back.
According to an official from the HCM City Branch of
the State iBank of
The involved parties still have not found any solution
to the Truong Ngan case.
In late 2011, five commercial banks in Can Tho City
also bogged down in a similar case. They rushed to come to the An Khang
Seafood Company to distrain the mortgaged asset, a storehouse which was
thought to contain thousands of tons of coffee. However, the storehouse
turned out to be an empty one.

is the tragicomedy which only occurs in
