Debtor and consumer insolvency advice

Overview

Debt counseling will help you if you find yourself in a financial emergency and can no longer get out of the situation on your own.
These financial emergencies can be

  • existing debts, but also
  • impending debts, for example if payment obligations have already not been met or upcoming payment obligations cannot be met.

The debt advice centers offer you the opportunity to

  • financial,
  • psychosocial and
  • legal advice.

Debt counseling helps you to reduce the effects of over-indebtedness and create financial leeway. The aim is for you to be able to pay your rent, energy costs and living expenses independently again.

  • First of all, the debt counselor will get a complete overview of your current debt situation.
  • You then draw up a plan together.

The offer also includes support in taking the necessary steps and coming to terms with the situation.
Debt counseling also supports you with

  • legal issues
  • Negotiations with creditors
  • Preparation of insolvency proceedings
  • Applying for personal insolvency.
