In Tilburg, where many tenants live in neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid or Het Zand, the SVB sometimes issues recovery decisions regarding rent allowance. Do you disagree? Then file an objection by means of an objection letter within six weeks after the decision. Explain why the recovery is unjustified, with evidence such as income data from the Tax Authorities, rental contracts registered with the municipality of Tilburg or bank statements. The SVB will reconsider your case and must decide within 8 weeks, with possible extension. Rejected? Appeal to the court in East Brabant, accessible from Tilburg. Important: request deferment of payment, so you often do not have to pay immediately. Local tips for Tilburg: strictly adhere to the deadlines, be concrete in your objection and seek free assistance at the Juridisch Loket in Tilburg (Stationsstraat 29) or the Woonpunt in the city. Administrative errors, such as incorrect rent reference dates for Tilburg addresses, occur more frequently. Successful objections result in remission or set-off against future allowances. The General Administrative Law Act safeguards your rights. Continue communicating with the SVB for interest-free instalments and avoid collection via the bailiff – in Tilburg you can also inquire at the municipality about exceptional assistance for rent costs.
