Information from the debtors' register as of 01.01.2013
Service Description
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.
Process flow
The debtors' register can only be viewed via an Internet platform that requires registration.
Who should I contact?
The debtors' register can be viewed via the "Vollstreckungsportal" Internet platform. The information procedure is described in detail there.
Requirements
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.
Which documents are required?
none
What are the fees?
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.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
none
Legal basis
- § Section 882b Contents of the list of debtors - Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO)
- § Section 882f Inspection of the Debtors' Register - Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO)
- § Section 5 Right of Inspection - Regulation on the Maintenance of the Debtors' Register (SchuFV)
- § Section 6 Inspection - Ordinance on the Maintenance of the Debtors' Register (SchuFV)
- No. 2.3 of the Schedule of Fees to Section 1 (1) of the Thuringian Judicial Costs Act (Costs)

Appeal
Informally via the aforementioned Internet portal
What else should I know?
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.
Comments
The debtors' register is maintained by the Meiningen Local Court for Thuringia. The entry is made on the basis of an entry order issued by the bailiff. The bailiff orders the entry if
- the debtor has not fulfilled his obligation to provide a statement of assets,
- enforcement is obviously not likely, on the basis of the contents of the list of assets, to lead to full satisfaction of the creditor at whose request the statement of assets was issued or to whom the statement of assets issued was forwarded, or
- the debtor fails to prove to the bailiff within one month of submission of the statement of assets or notification of the notification in accordance with section 802d (1) sentence 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure that the creditor at whose request the statement of assets was issued or to whom the information issued was forwarded has been fully satisfied.
In addition, entries may be made in the debtors' register on the basis of insolvency proceedings if
- an application to open insolvency proceedings has been rejected for lack of assets,
- the discharge of residual debt has been refused in the insolvency proceedings,
- the discharge of residual debt already granted has been revoked in the insolvency proceedings.
The deletion from the debtor's register takes place ex officio after the expiry of three years from the date of the entry order, i.e. the debtor does not have to file an application for deletion.
The deletion may take place earlier if
- the debtor proves that the debt has been repaid,
- the reason for the entry has ceased to exist or is missing, or
- the registration order has been revoked or temporarily suspended.
