Ferrariman lashes out at Andorra's Social Security Fund over €17,000 seizure order: "I told them I was leaving, but they kept charging me"

Xavier Caballol, popularly known as Ferrariman, has broken his silence following the publication of a €17,136.22 seizure order over unpaid contributions to the Andorran Social Security Fund (CASS).

The businessman has strongly criticised the Andorran press and argued that the debt resulted from an administrative problem which, according to his account, began when he left the Principality.

Caballol has accused local media outlets of attempting to damage his reputation and claimed that reports about the enforcement proceedings failed to explain the circumstances that led to the accumulation of unpaid contributions.

"I see you haven't forgotten about me, my friends in the Andorran press," he said sarcastically before accusing journalists of incompetence and attempting to discredit him.

The businessman explained that he decided to speak publicly after receiving messages from friends and relatives concerned about the reports.

"It's a fictitious debt that I will never pay"

According to Ferrariman, the dispute with CASS began when he decided to leave Andorra and stop carrying out any professional activity in the country.

Caballol claims he had already sold his company and therefore believed he had no reason to continue paying monthly social security contributions as a self-employed worker.

He says he contacted the Social Security Fund by telephone to request deregistration and stop paying contributions of approximately €500 per month.

However, according to his account, the official who answered his call told him that his deregistration could not be processed under the circumstances he described.

"I informed Social Security that I was stopping payments, that I was no longer working here and that I was leaving," he stated.

Caballol maintains that, despite this communication, his contribution obligations continued accumulating until they generated the debt now being claimed by CASS.

For this reason, he argues that the amounts demanded do not correspond to any professional activity he continued to carry out in Andorra.

"It's a fictitious debt that I will never pay," he declared.

However, his explanation represents his personal account of events and does not establish that his deregistration as a self-employed worker was formally completed.

Ferrariman accuses CASS of preventing him from deregistering

During the video, Caballol also criticised the functioning of Andorra's public administration and accused some civil servants of creating bureaucratic obstacles rather than resolving citizens' problems.

According to his account, when he informed the authorities that he wanted to stop contributing, he was told that he could not retire or discontinue payments without meeting certain requirements.

"What do you mean I can't retire? I'm stopping working and producing here. Besides, I'm leaving and won't be here anymore. Why should I pay this money?" he said.

Caballol stated that he has private health insurance and prefers to manage his own savings and retirement arrangements.

He also questioned the compulsory nature of social security contributions and strongly criticised the public pension system.

The businessman believes the administration should have facilitated his withdrawal from the system when he announced that he was leaving the country.

However, the intention to stop contributing does not automatically eliminate existing legal obligations. Determining whether the amounts claimed are justified would require examining Caballol's administrative status during the relevant periods and any formal deregistration procedures he may have initiated.

CASS claims €17,136 in unpaid contributions between 2023 and 2025

Despite Ferrariman's explanations, the enforcement proceedings are documented in an official notice dated November 9, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Andorra (BOPA).

The document identifies Francesc Xavier Caballol Lasso as the subject of a seizure order initiated by CASS over unpaid contributions as a self-employed worker.

The total amount claimed is €17,136.22, broken down as follows:

• €12,420 in unpaid social security contributions.

• €1,935.18 in surcharges.

• €2,781.04 in enforcement costs.

The debt relates to several periods between September 2023 and September 2025.

The administrative resolution issued by CASS is dated November 14, 2025, while the seizure order was adopted on September 16, 2026.

In his video, Caballol particularly criticised the additional charges arising from the proceedings, arguing that they had substantially increased the original amount.

The official figures, however, distinguish between the outstanding contributions, surcharges and enforcement expenses.

"They haven't seized anything from me; they've issued a seizure order"

Another point Ferrariman wanted to clarify was the difference between the existence of a seizure order and the actual confiscation or attachment of money or property.

Caballol claims that no property or funds have actually been seized from him, and that the authorities have merely initiated proceedings to recover the amount demanded.

"They say they've seized my assets, as if they'd taken something away from me. Well, they haven't. They've issued a seizure order," he stated.

The businessman also questioned whether the authorities would be able to find any assets registered in his name in Andorra, claiming that he had sold his company before leaving the country.

The official document confirms the existence of a seizure order covering his assets and rights, but it does not identify specific assets that may be affected or establish, by itself, that the measure has already been executed.

Ferrariman attacks the Andorran press again

A significant part of Caballol's statement focused on his criticism of media outlets in the Principality.

The businessman believes the coverage of the seizure proceedings was intended to damage his reputation and accused journalists of simply reproducing information published in the Official Gazette without investigating his version of events.

"Instead of being professional and doing a little research, they just read what's there and try to make me look bad and discredit me," he said.

He also insisted that he does not want to be portrayed as someone who deliberately avoids paying debts or as a fraudster, arguing that such a characterisation does not reflect his conduct.

Caballol maintained that he has a clear conscience and that his video was primarily intended to explain the situation to relatives, friends and people close to him who had asked about the reports.

Nevertheless, the publication of the seizure order concerns an officially documented administrative procedure, while Ferrariman's explanations represent his account of how the dispute originated.

The disagreement between the businessman and CASS therefore centres on whether he remained legally required to pay social security contributions after ceasing his activities in Andorra and whether he properly completed the necessary deregistration procedures.

Until that issue is clarified, the seizure order published in BOPA remains the official document establishing the financial claim.
