Debt Counselling
The debt counselling can take place as a personal meeting, as a phone inquiry or as mail counselling. The debt advisers will always take the concrete situation into consideration, and the debt counselling could for example contain:
- Help to identify the economical situation, for example an overview of the debt, budget and repayment plan.
- Help to manage the debt, for example advice on the opportunities of cancellation of debt, and help to negotiate with the creditors.
- Information about, for example, meetings in bailiff's court and with debt registers.
Telephone- and e-mail counselling can only be used for isolated questions such as “What does it mean to go to the bailiff's court?” or “Am I liable for my spouse's debt?”
