What is Debt Councelling?

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?”
