No, we are not a debt collection office.

We are a service platform that standardises the ordering of the debt collection register extract for all debt collection offices in Switzerland. You can order directly for all places of residence (for the last 5 years) quickly and easily via our site.

Each political community of residence has its own debt collection office or debt collection district. (There are over 400 debt collection offices and districts throughout Switzerland).

The extract from the debt collection register does not provide information on debt collection throughout Switzerland, but only from the requested place of residence.

Example: This means that if you have to provide an extract from the last 5 years and have lived in 3 different municipalities in the last 5 years, you would have to order a total of 3 extracts from the debt collection register. (One for each place of residence)

The extract provides information on whether a debt collection has been disputed, paid or whether a debt seizure or certificate of loss has been issued. The extract includes 1 place of residence of the person or the head office of the company.

An extract from the debt collection register can be ordered from the responsible debt collection office of the place of residence / registered office.

Not every political municipality has its own debt collection office. This means that often several municipalities have joined together to form a debt collection district.

For data protection reasons, debt collection information is never provided by telephone.

An extract from the debt collection register is often requested for the following matters:

• Job search
• Housing search
• Credit applications
• Credit card applications
• Mortgage application
• Larger orders on account
• Car leasing

Legally, however, there is no obligation on the part of the person or company vis-à-vis or to a landlord to submit a extract from the debt collection register, because with the proof of interest in a flat, the landlord himself can request an extract from the debt collection register of the last place of residence.

It is nevertheless recommended to enclose an extract of debt collection register with an application.
