Marijus Velička, a lawyer from the Velička, Brazaitis, and Partners Baltic Juris firm, has provided insights into how Lithuanian residents can benefit from debt vacations. He explains the circumstances under which debt vacations must be implemented by bailiffs and highlights situations where these vacations cannot be applied. Velička emphasizes the importance of understanding these parameters for those seeking to access funds from second-pillar pension schemes while managing their debts.

In the discussion, he stresses that not all debts are eligible for these vacations, which can lead to confusion among borrowers. For instance, outstanding debts related to certain enforcement actions may not be eligible for relief under the current regulations. Consequently, residents should be well-informed about their specific circumstances and the types of debts they hold to ensure they maximize the benefits of any debt relief options potentially available.

Additionally, Velička encourages those who have debts and are considering withdrawing funds from their second pension pillar to carefully consider the impact on their overall financial situation. Decisions made regarding debt vacations and accessing pension funds require a strategic approach, as they not only affect immediate financial obligations but also long-term financial health. By sharing this information, he aims to equip borrowers with the knowledge necessary to navigate these complex financial waters.
