Abstract
This commentary analyses a recent decision which declared that the assignee of a credit, despite not having notified the debtor of the assignment, may nonetheless collect the credit as long as he appears as agent of the original creditor. Special attention is drawn to the complicate mechanism chosen by the assignee/agent in order to collect, which is based in an erroneous interpretation regarding the time and manner in which the assignment must be notified.
