Auskunft aus dem Schuldnerverzeichnis ab 01.01.2013

For certain purposes and under certain conditions, you can obtain information from the debtors' register.

The debtors' register serves to protect bona fide business transactions from uncreditworthy debtors.

Since 01.01.2013, the maintenance of the debtors' register has been completely reorganized and modernized. Since then, there has been only one debtors' register in each federal state, which has been set up at a central enforcement court. In Thuringia, this has been done at Meiningen Local Court. Nationwide access is only possible via the Internet..

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

Chambers (e.g. chambers of industry and commerce or chambers of handicrafts) or commercial and business credit agencies, can obtain copies from the debtors' register and pass them on to their members.

Inspection of the debtors' register is permitted to anyone who demonstrates a need for information:

• for the purposes of compulsory enforcement,
• in order to comply with legal obligations to verify economic reliability
• to verify conditions for granting public benefits,
• to avert economic disadvantages that may result from debtors not fulfilling their payment obligations,
• for the purposes of criminal prosecution and execution of sentences,
• for information on entries concerning himself/herself,
• for purposes of supervision of judicial staff dealing with the debtors' register.

Notice: The information may be used only 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 charge for agencies that are not exempt from charges.

A fee of 4.50 euros is charged for each data record (debtor) transmitted, even in the case of a negative report.

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

The debtors' register can only be viewed via an Internet platform that requires registration.

If someone does not have the possibility to use the Internet, an inspection PC is available at all district courts. Since registration with the Internet platform is also required in this case, it is usually necessary to visit the local court twice in person. Information via the Internet portal is therefore much less time-consuming.
