Debt counseling
Normally the Debt Counseling would close Wednesday 24. June, but due to the coronavirus there is a large waiting list of citizens, who need help.
Therefore it has been decided that the service is available also on 1. July and 8. July. Then there is summer holidays and the Debt Counseling service will be back Wednesday 5. August
The debt counselling can take place as a personal meeting, a phone inquiry or as mail counseling. The debt advisers will always take the concrete situation into consideration and the debt counseling could for example contain:
- Mapping of the economical situation, e.g. an overview of the debt, budget and repayment plan.
- Help to manage the debt, e.g. advice on the opportunities of cancellation of debt and help to negotiate with the creditors.
- Information about e.g. meetings in bailiff court and debtor registers.
Telephone- and mail counselling is only for isolated questions such as “What does it mean to go to bailiff court?” or “Am I liable of my spouse’s debt?”
