MARVIC FARRUGIA

For the Registrar, Civil Courts and Tribunals

By means of a decree given by the Civil Court First Hall on the 20th May, 2019, in the records of the Sworn Application in the names HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. vs Stefanov Alexandar, Application Number 47/19 RGM, it was ordered that the Note of the 23rd of April, 2019, hereunder reproduced be notified to the defendant Alexandar Stefanov by means of publication, in terms of Article 187(3) et sequitur of Cap.12.

That on the 23rd April, 2019, the Bank HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. filed a Note in the records of the Sworn Application in the names HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. vs Stefanov Alexandar, in virtue of which an affidavit of Doreen Cunnigham, hereunder reproduced was exhibited.

Affidavit

I Doreen Cunnigham (ID 54769M) hereunder signed and by means of my oath confirm the following as known to me personally and from the files of HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c.

I have been employed with the HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. for these last 30 years and I have worked in the Recoveries Department of HSBC Bank Malta plc since the year 2012. I further add that I have worked on this account for these last 18 months.

I state that by means of a contract of acquisition and loan in the records of Notary Doctor Rueben Casingena, of the 13th September, 2012, following a request of Alexandar Stefanov, the bank had granted a loan facility in the sum of €108,180.00 to Alexandar Stefanov, born in Bulgaria and holder of identity card number 48811A. This contract was presented with sworn application as Doc. A.

From this sum, the amount of €81,180.00 was used in order that part of the price of acquisition of the apartment internally marked with number four (4) which is situated in the first floor in a block without official number and name accessible from Triq Dun Nard Mallia, Żurrieq, whilst the sum of €27,000 was given for personal use of the debtor and withdrawn from Home Loan Account with number 16134583. The sum of €81,180 was withdrawn on the day of the contract on the 13th September, 2012, as payment to the vendor of the property mentioned and €21,000 were withdrawn on the 31st May, 2013, and €6,000 were withdrawn on the 4th July, 2013. This loan was on the basis of a Sanction Letter that the bank issued in favour of the debtor of the 14th June, 2012 (Doc. B with the sworn application) wherein besides a number of conditions it is explained that the debtor has the duty to pay the bank payments of €424.94 monthly and this for a period of 432 months.

That although some payments were made with the first being made on the 10th October, 2012, these were not being made every month and the last month was that of the 11th November, 2014. The Bank is owed by Alexandar Stefanov the global sum of €123,964.39, from which €106,186.10 are the balance due from the capital whilst the amount of €17,778.29 represent interests on capital worked out with simple interest till the 18th October, 2018.

The debtor Alexandar Stefanov following the said judicial letter did not deposit the monthly payments as agreed with the Bank.

The debtor did not pay the arrears due by him to the Bank, thus the Bank decided to institute this lawsuit against him for all the amount due by him on Home Loanand namely the amount of €123,964.39, besides other interests at the rate of 8% yearly from the 19th April, 2018, until all the debt is paid. I state that the last deposit by the debtor was made on the 11th November, 2014, and from that date no other deposits were made. I also state that the bank did not pay the House Insurance on behalf of the debtor every year, and for this purpose the Bank made two payments of €56.65 (one in the year 2013 and the other in the yerar 2014) and four annual payments of €58 each from the year 2015 till the year 2018 and this as appears from the statement presented as Doc. C with the sworn application.
