A Wrocław resident owes about 190,000 zł plus interest, learned from a bailiff after the Polish Post failed to deliver the required notice.
She Learned About the Hearing and Verdict From a Bailiff
Dagmara Śmiłowska, a Wrocław resident, said she only found out about a court judgment ordering her to pay over 189,000 zł plus interest (around 300,000 zł today) from a bailiff. The debt is to be auctioned from her apartment. She claimed the postman neither delivered the certified letter nor left a notice, so she was unaware of the hearing. In June the court dismissed her appeal. She lamented, “I no longer know if I live in a country of law. It’s not that I am being ignored – Polish Post is simply failing, but the court did not believe that.” She asked, “Could the postman leave me and my children with no roof over our heads?”
Short Response from Polish Post
Other entrepreneurs from the same Wrocław area confirmed her account, stating that many tenants face delivery problems and that parcels are mixed up and delivered carelessly. The court ignored these complaints and ruled that there were no proofs that “at least even slightly” supported Śmiłowska’s claim of postal operator’s misconduct or related lack of coverage. Śmiłowska asked how she could “further prove” it. A response from Polish Post in February 2024 explained that they could not explain what happened with the court’s parcel because the postman has been unavailable for a long time, according to her lawyer Mateusz Falender. He concluded that she “has reasonably alleged that the delivery was ineffective, as the operator cannot confirm delivery.” In an interview with Wyborcza, Polish Post CEO Sebastian Mikosz added his remarks.
Government Funding for Polish Post
The government approved a funding plan for Polish Post at the end of July. According to the Ministry of State Assets, the company will receive 997 million zł in 2026 and 960 million zł in 2027 – about 700 million zł more than previously announced. In the previous year Polish Post incurred a net loss of 213 million zł. CEO Mikosz stated that the goal is to get the “patient” into better shape, noting that the post still calls trouble but his condition has improved enough to avoid intubation, in a Forbes interview.
