Debtors' register; inspection

Under certain conditions, you can view the debtors' register online in the Joint Enforcement Portal of the Federal States.

Description

In the so-called debtors' register, personal data of debtors are entered,

  • who have not complied with the obligation to provide a statement of assets,
  • who have made a statement of assets and liabilities and the list of assets and liabilities shows that repayment of the debt is not possible in full,
  • who, according to the contents of the list of assets, could repay the debts in full, but have not provided evidence of full repayment within one month,
  • whose insolvency proceedings have been dismissed for lack of assets, or
  • whose discharge of residual debt has been refused or revoked.

You can only inspect the debtors' register online via the Joint Enforcement Portal of the Federal States, for example:

  • for the purposes of compulsory enforcement
  • to fulfill legal obligations to verify economic reliability
  • to check the conditions for granting public benefits
  • to avert economic disadvantages that may result from debtors failing to meet their payment obligations
  • for the purposes of criminal prosecution and execution of sentences
  • for information on entries concerning yourself
  • for the purpose of supervision of judicial staff dealing with the debtors' register.

The Central Enforcement Court of the respective federal state is always responsible.
