What the affected party then has to do depends largely on whether or not they dispute the claim asserted against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following article is intended to briefly explain what a debt collection agency actually is and how a letter from a debt collection agency should preferably be dealt with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-begriffsbestimmung\">I. Definition of Terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a better understanding, the following terms should be explained in advance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013<strong>Schuldner<\/strong>: Ein Schuldner ist eine Person, die einem anderen&nbsp;<strong>etwas<\/strong>&nbsp;schuldet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013<strong>Gl\u00e4ubiger<\/strong>: Ein Gl\u00e4ubiger ist eine Person, welchem eine&nbsp;<strong>Forderung<\/strong>&nbsp;gegen einen anderen&nbsp;<strong>zusteht<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013<strong>Abtretung<\/strong>: Unter einer Abtretung ist die (dingliche)&nbsp;<strong>\u00dcbertragung<\/strong>&nbsp;einer&nbsp;<strong>Forderung<\/strong>&nbsp;zu verstehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a case study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max Mustermann (Gl\u00e4ubiger) \u201eleiht\u201c seinem besten Freund Hans Schmidt (Schuldner) EUR&nbsp;1.000,00 (Forderung), welches er auf das Girokonto von Hans \u00fcberweist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hans&nbsp;(Schuldner) kann die EUR&nbsp;1.000,00 nicht sofort zur\u00fcckzahlen, hat jedoch selbst eine Forderung in gleicher H\u00f6he gegen seinen Arbeitskollegen Stefan&nbsp;M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hans (debtor) and Max (creditor) agree that Hans will transfer his claim against Stefan to Max (assignment) in order to free himself from his debt to Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ii-was-ist-ein-inkassounternehmen\">II. What is a debt collection agency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>F\u00fchrt man sich das obige Fallbeispiel vor Augen, so macht ein Inkassounternehmen nichts anderes, als Forderungen von Gl\u00e4ubigern gewerblich \u201e<strong>abzukaufen<\/strong>\u201c und diese&nbsp;<strong>im eigenen Namen<\/strong>&nbsp;gegen den jeweiligen Schuldner durchzusetzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Das Inkassounternehmen verdient unter anderem dadurch Geld, dass sie die jeweilige Forderung des Gl\u00e4ubigers zu einem&nbsp;<strong>niedrigeren<\/strong>&nbsp;Preis \u201eeinkauft\u201c, als der Nennbetrag der jeweiligen Forderung eigentlich ist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Forderung des Gl\u00e4ubigers entspricht EUR&nbsp;1.000,00. Das Inkassounternehmen zahlt dem Gl\u00e4ubiger EUR&nbsp;950,00 aus und treibt beim Schuldner unter anderem die EUR&nbsp;1.000,00 ein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Des Weiteren erhebt das Inkassounternehmen bei der Durchsetzung der jeweiligen Forderung zudem&nbsp;<strong>Geb\u00fchren<\/strong>, die sie \u2013 neben der eigentlichen Forderung \u2013 zus\u00e4tzlich vom Schuldner der f\u00e4lligen Forderung einfordert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Des Weiteren enthalten Briefe von Inkassounternehmen, \u201e<strong>Hinweise<\/strong>\u201c darauf, dass&nbsp;<strong>Schufa-Eintr\u00e4ge<\/strong>&nbsp;erfolgen k\u00f6nnen, sollte die geltend gemachte Forderung nicht beglichen werden. Durch diese \u201eHinweise\u201c erhoffen sich die Inkassounternehmen, dass die jeweiligen \u201eSchuldner\u201c in Bezug auf die eigene Kreditw\u00fcrdigkeit ver\u00e4ngstigt werden und vorschnell die geforderte Summe zahlen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iii-was-tun-bei-erhalt-eines-inkasso-briefes\">III What to do if you receive a debt collection letter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Das weitere Vorgehen nach Erhalt eines Schreibens (Briefes) eines Inkassounternehmens h\u00e4ngt ma\u00dfgeblich davon ab, ob der jeweilige Betroffene die streitgegenst\u00e4ndliche Forderung f\u00fcr&nbsp;<strong>begr\u00fcndet<\/strong>&nbsp;h\u00e4lt oder nicht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-existente-bzw-unbestrittene-forderung\"><strong>1. existing or undisputed claim<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>H\u00e4lt der jeweilige Betroffene die streitgegenst\u00e4ndliche Forderung f\u00fcr&nbsp;<strong>existent<\/strong>&nbsp;und&nbsp;<strong>begr\u00fcndet<\/strong>, so bietet es sich in der Regel an, die streitgegenst\u00e4ndliche Forderung zu bezahlen,&nbsp;<strong>sofern<\/strong>&nbsp;dem jeweiligen Betroffenen keinerlei Gegenrechte gegen die streitgegenst\u00e4ndliche Forderung zustehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An example<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The debtor is the tenant of a flat and has not paid one month's rent. The flat in which the debtor lives for rent has no defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In diesem Beispielsfall ist dem Schuldner zu raten, schnellstm\u00f6glich die Forderung zu&nbsp;<strong>begleichen<\/strong>, um weitere Kosten zu vermeiden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure would be different if the affected party were entitled to any counter-rights, on the basis of which the subsidy in question could be regarded as partially or completely non-existent or justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Modification of the example case<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Der Schuldner ist Mieter einer Wohnung und hat eine Monatsmiete nicht gezahlt. Die Wohnung, in welcher der Schuldner zur Miete wohnt, hatte einen Wasserschaden und ist unbewohnbar. Von Gesetzes wegen f\u00fchrt dies f\u00fcr die Dauer der Unbewohnbarkeit der Wohnung zu einer Minderung der monatlichen Mietschuld auf EUR&nbsp;0,00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the modified example case, the debtor would be advised not to make any payments to either the landlord or the debt collection agency. Although the landlord is basically entitled to payment of the agreed monthly rent, this is reduced to zero by law (ipso iure) for the duration of the uninhabitability of the flat. If the landlord carelessly calls in a debt collection agency, the landlord's declaration of assignment in this regard will be in vain due to the lack of existence of the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-nicht-existente-bzw-bestrittene-forderung\"><strong>2. non-existent or disputed claim<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the affected party disputes the existence of the claim in dispute on the merits, for example because no valid contract has been concluded at all, it is generally advisable not to make any payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Der Betroffene darf nicht dem&nbsp;<strong>Irrtum<\/strong>&nbsp;anheimfallen, dass etwa ein&nbsp;<strong>negativer Schufa-Eintrag<\/strong>&nbsp;drohen und dadurch die eigene Kreditw\u00fcrdigkeit herabgesenkt werden&nbsp;<strong>k\u00f6nnte<\/strong>, wenn keine Zahlung vorgenommen wird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ein Schufa-Eintrag ist bei&nbsp;<strong>bestrittenen<\/strong>&nbsp;Forderungen unzul\u00e4ssig. Der jeweilige Betroffene kann von der Schufa die unverz\u00fcgliche L\u00f6schung der Eintragung verlangen, notfalls sogar mithilfe einer einstweiligen Verf\u00fcgung des zust\u00e4ndigen Gerichts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iv-unsere-erfahrung-mit-inkassounternehmen\">IV. Our experience with debt collection agencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-seriose-glaubiger-verzichten-auf-inkassounternehmen\"><strong>1. reputable creditors work through debt collection agencies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Our experience to date has shown us that \"dubious\" creditors in particular are simply attracted to debt collection agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gerade in F\u00e4llen, in denen ein Vertragsschluss zwischen den jeweiligen Parteien&nbsp;<strong>im Streit<\/strong>&nbsp;steht, schalten bestimmte Gl\u00e4ubiger systematisch erstmal ein Inkassounternehmen ein, um die vermeintliche Forderung durchsetzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the affected party then continues to defend themselves against the claim in dispute, they suddenly give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example from business practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/topuz-law.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-04-163010-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach by dubious creditors is due to the fact that they understandably shy away from the costs of a legal dispute before a German court. If they lose the legal dispute, they would not only have to pay the court costs, but also the other party's legal fees. From the point of view of dubious creditors, co-operation with a debt collection agency is usually cheaper, easier and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-keine-ruckmeldung\"><strong>2. no response<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not uncommon for us as a law firm to receive no feedback from either the creditor or the debt collection agency after we have appointed ourselves for an affected party and, for example, disputed the claim in dispute on behalf of the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This often has the advantage for the affected party that the matter effectively settles itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-v-fazit\">V. Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can only advise affected parties not to make any payments to debt collection agencies prematurely and instead to seek legal advice in good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This applies in particular to cases in which the affected parties dispute the claim on the merits or are of the opinion that they are not obliged to pay due to counterclaims (set-off, cancellation, termination, revocation, rescission, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ein drohender negativer Schufa-Eintrag ist&nbsp;<strong>kein<\/strong>&nbsp;Grund f\u00fcr eine vorschnelle Zahlung,&nbsp;<strong>wenn<\/strong>&nbsp;es sich, wie bereits erw\u00e4hnt, um eine&nbsp;<strong>bestrittene<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Forderung<\/strong>&nbsp;handelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Tolga Topuz<br>Lawyer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topuz Law \u2013Kanzlei aus D\u00fcsseldorf\u2013<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Briefe von Inkassounternehmen \u2013Was tun?\u2013 Wer einen Brief von einem Inkassounternehmen erh\u00e4lt, stellt sich in der Regel sofort folgende Frage: \u201eHabe ich vergessen, eine Rechnung zu bezahlen?\u201c Ein Blick auf den Gl\u00e4ubiger der \u2013 vermeintlichen \u2013 Forderung gen\u00fcgt h\u00e4ufig bereits, um eben jene Forderung einzuordnen.
