Information from the debtor register as of 01.01.2013
Service Description
The debtor register serves to protect honest business transactions from uncreditworthy debtors.
Since 01.01.2013, the management of the debtor register has been completely reorganized and modernized. Since then, there has only been one debtor register in each federal state, which has been set up at a central enforcement court. In Thuringia, this is at the Meiningen district court. Inspection is only possible nationwide via the Internet.
Anyone can obtain information from the debtor register if they can demonstrate that the personal information is to be used for one of the purposes specified in the Code of Civil Procedure (see under Requirements).
Chambers (e.g. chambers of industry and commerce or chambers of crafts) or commercial and credit agencies can obtain copies of the debtor register and pass them on to their members.
Process flow
The debtor register can only be viewed via an internet platform that requires registration.
Who should I contact?
The debtor register can be viewed via the "Vollstreckungsportal" internet platform. The information procedure is described in detail there.
Requirements
Access to the debtor register is permitted to anyone who demonstrates a need for information:
- for the purposes of enforcement,
- in order to fulfill legal obligations to check economic reliability,
- to check the conditions for the granting of public benefits,
- to avert economic disadvantages that may result from debtors failing to meet their payment obligations,
- for the purposes of criminal prosecution and the execution of sentences,
- to provide information about entries relating to himself,
- for the purposes of supervising judicial officers who are involved with the debtor register.
Note: The information may only be used 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 fee for non-exempt agencies.
There is a charge of 4.50 euros per data record (debtor) transmitted, even in the case of negative information.
The fee does not apply in the case of self-disclosure.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?

Legal basis
- § Section 882b of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO)
- § Section 882f of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO)
- § Section 5 of the Debtor Register Management Ordinance (SchuFV)
- § Section 6 of the Debtor Register Management Ordinance (SchuFV)
- No. 2.3 of the Schedule of Fees under 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 option of using the internet, an inspection PC is available at all local courts. Since registration with the aforementioned internet platform is also required in this case, it is usually necessary to visit the local court twice in person. Obtaining information via the internet portal is therefore considerably less time-consuming.
Comments
The debtor register is kept 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 information on assets,
- based on the content of the list of assets, enforcement is clearly not likely 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 that the creditor at whose request the statement of assets was issued or to whom the information provided was forwarded has been satisfied in full within one month of the submission of the statement of assets or notification of forwarding in accordance with section 802d (1) sentence 2 ZPO.
In addition, entries can be made in the debtor register on the basis of insolvency proceedings if
- an application to open insolvency proceedings has been rejected for lack of assets,
- 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.
Deletion from the debtor register takes place ex officio three years after the date of the entry order, i.e. the debtor does not have to file an application for deletion.
Deletion can take place prematurely 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.
