Debt counseling
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?”
