Debt counseling / consumer advice
No more debt at last...
We will work with you to find a way out of your debts. If required, we will immediately issue you with an attachment protection account certificate to set up a P-account.
You will receive an appointment for this or for a comprehensive initial consultation on your debt situation at our debt advice center in Rinteln within 3 - 5 working days!
Simply make an appointment:
For a consultation in 31737 Rinteln: Tel. 05751-9932480
For a consultation in 31785 Hameln: Tel. 05151-9969530
We help immediately!
As soon as you have submitted all the documents (invoices, reminders, attachment orders, default summonses, enforcement orders) to us, we will take care of an out-of-court settlement with your creditors, help you prepare your insolvency petition or support you in settling your debts or in the event of an estate insolvency.
As a rule, there are no costs for you, as these are covered by the state of Lower Saxony. We will clarify with you in advance as part of the initial consultation whether you meet the requirements for cost coverage by the state of Lower Saxony. If you fulfill the requirements the consultation and representation in the context of out-of-court debt settlement is of course completely free of charge for you.
Consumer insolvency
We mediate between debtors and creditors and try to reach a settlement. If an out-of-court settlement fails, we will support you in applying for consumer insolvency proceedings.
Before insolvency proceedings can be applied for, the parties must present a failed out-of-court settlement attempt. Accordingly, we will submit a debt settlement plan to the creditors in consultation with you.
If the creditors unanimously agree to this, the proceedings are ended out of court by means of a settlement.
However, if no agreement is reached, an application can be made for consumer insolvency proceedings.
We will also be happy to prepare the insolvency application for you on request.
P-account certificate
A P account automatically offers garnishment protection of €1,555.00 per month. Additional amounts may be released upon presentation of evidence.
The P-account offers you protection against account seizures:
- Basic protectionforbalances up to €1,555.00
Prerequisite: Conversion request submitted by the account holder to their bank - Increased allowance with certificate for maintenance / social or asylum seeker benefits for other people in the household / child benefit / some other benefits
The prerequisite for this is that the account holder submits a so-called P-account certificate to their bank - Individually determined allowance with decision/notice for higher income and special cases
Prerequisite: Application with evidence to enforcement court/enforcement authority
We will be happy to issue you with a P-account certificate and also help you in the case of individually determined allowances.

Transparent costs
If costs are incurred at all....
As a rule, our advice and services do not incur any costs for you.
There are a few exceptions, e.g. if you have already made use of a debt counseling service within the last 10 years and they have also acted on your behalf. However, it may be possible to apply for a counseling aid certificate from the local court. We will be happy to advise you and an initial consultation is always free of charge.

FAQ | Frequently asked questions
What do I need to bring to the 1st appointment at the debt counseling service?
Basically nothing at first. However, if possible, you can bring all existing outstanding invoices, your tenancy agreement, a list or documents relating to your fixed costs, your proof of income, etc. with you. This will enable us to start working for you immediately. You don't have to have the documents neatly sorted, but we will of course be happy if we can get them reasonably organized.
What happens next in debt counseling?
You provide us with all documents relating to your personal and financial situation, including all outstanding invoices, reminder notices, etc. We write to your creditors and ask for information on the exact amount of your debts. Once we have received all the answers, we assess your chances of reaching an out-of-court settlement or personal insolvency on the basis of your income situation. The result will be discussed with you and we will inform the creditors accordingly after consultation with you.
We are a recognized debtor advice agency according to §3 para. 1 AGInsO.
