We will check the debtor's economic status in Austria or Germany

If necessary, we will check the debtor’s current property status, e.g. his/her debts, foreclosures, bankruptcy, assets in Austria and Germany. The result will be a so-called credit report, which will give you a better understanding of the debtor’s financial situation. This is a paid service.
