Letter from the Gerichtsvollzieher — enforcement stage

The bailiff enforces court titles or payment orders. Ignoring the letter increases fees and risk of asset seizure.

Immediate steps

Read Aktenzeichen, creditor, and amount. Contact the bailiff office or seek Schuldnerberatung before a visit.

Payment vs dispute

If the underlying debt is wrong, you may need to challenge the underlying title, not only the bailiff.
