Article. 1177: the creditors after having pursued the property in possession of the debtor to satisfy
their claims, may exercise all the rights and bring all the actions of the latter for the same purpose,
save those who inherent in his person; they may also impugn the acts which the debtor may have
done to defraud them.
It talks about the remedies available to creditors
Remedies available to creditors for the satisfaction of their claims:
In case the debtor does not comply with his obligation the creditor may avail these remedies
1. Exact fulfillment with right to damages
- The creditor pwedeng mag bigay ng letter demanding debtor to pay his obligation. And pwede rin
namang iperform parin yung obligation with the right to damages Example may utang si debtor
ng million kung may pambayad naman si debtor, why not? So si creditor ang remedies niya lang
ay to demand amount of million with damages and if hindi kaya ni debtor mag bayad ng ganung
kalaki
2. Exhaustion of the debtor’s properties still in his possession – writ of attachment (before
judgement) or writ of execution (for final judgement not yet executed
- The creditor can now attach all leviable properties of the debtor para ibenta ni debtor at
ipambayad kay creditor and what if walang property si debtor
3. ACCION SUBROGATORIA - an action where the creditor whose claims had not been fully
satisfied, may go after the debtors (3rd person) of the defendant debtor.
- Kung hindi parin sapat kahit ibinenta na ang property o kaya walang property you as creditor
parang iimbestigahan mo si debtor kung siya ay isa ring creditor sa iba, and if namalan na nga na
meron, the creditor can talk to umutang kay debtor (3rd person) halimbawa si creditor si A si B
namnan si debtor, si A pwedeng mag act as creditor ni 3rd person na siya ang maniningil in behalf
of B.
- And if nagawa mo na nga lahat at hindi parin nag cocomply si debtor
4. ACCION PAULIANA – an action where the creditor files an action in court for the
RESCISSION of acts or contracts entered by the debtor designed to defraud the former.
- Accion for recession ibig sabihin ay you can ask sa korte na kanselahin ang mga kontratang
ipinasok ng may debtor sa (3rd person)
- for example binenta ni debtor yung property niya na pwedeng namang ipambayad kay creditor
and if you can prove na binenta nga ni debtor to defraud you. May right si creditor to impugn the
contract para maibalik kay debtor at may ipambayad kay creditor
- But wait bagomo ma aavail ang accion pauliana ay kung napagod kana gawin lahat ng remedies
or na proved mo na nagawa mo na ang 3 remedies.
