Mahnung vs Mahnbescheid
A Mahnung comes from a creditor or company. A Mahnbescheid comes from the Amtsgericht (yellow envelope) and has stricter legal effects. Do not confuse the two.
Sensible next steps
Verify the underlying invoice, check whether you already paid, dispute incorrect fees in writing, and pay or agree a plan before the creditor escalates to Inkasso or court.
