Auskunft aus dem Schuldnerverzeichnis ab 01.01.2013

You can obtain information from the debtor register for certain purposes and under certain conditions.

The debtor register serves to protect honest business transactions from uncreditworthy debtors.

Since 01.01.2013, the management of the debtor register has been completely reorganized and modernized. Since then, there has only been one debtor register in each federal state, which has been set up at a central enforcement court. In Thuringia, this is at the Meiningen district court. Inspection is only possible nationwide via the Internet.

Anyone can obtain information from the debtor register if they can demonstrate that the personal information is to be used for one of the purposes specified in the Code of Civil Procedure (see under Requirements).

Chambers (e.g. chambers of industry and commerce or chambers of crafts) or commercial and credit agencies can obtain copies of the debtor register and pass them on to their members.

Access to the debtor register is permitted to anyone who demonstrates a need for information:

• for the purposes of enforcement,
• in order to fulfill legal obligations to check economic reliability,
• to check the conditions for the granting of public benefits,
• to avert economic disadvantages that may result from debtors failing to meet their payment obligations,
• for the purposes of criminal prosecution and the execution of sentences,
• to provide information about entries relating to himself,
• for the purposes of supervising judicial officers who are involved with the debtor register.

Note: The information may only be used for the purpose for which it was obtained. It must be deleted once the purpose has been achieved. All inspections are logged.

The retrieval of data is subject to a fee for non-exempt agencies.

There is a charge of 4.50 euros per data record (debtor) transmitted, even in the case of negative information.

The fee does not apply in the case of self-disclosure.

The debtor register can only be viewed via an internet platform that requires registration.

If someone does not have the option of using the internet, an inspection PC is available at all local courts. Since registration with the aforementioned internet platform is also required in this case, it is usually necessary to visit the local court twice in person. Obtaining information via the internet portal is therefore considerably less time-consuming.
