Conditions for the agreement of a deferral of payment (deadline extension)

(1) The payment must be received by atriga on the selected date. The debtor should take into account his capabilities (e.g. when his salary will be transferred) and also take into account the bank transfer time (approx. 3 days).

(2) The debtor acknowledges that he owes the creditor the claim amounts and procedural costs listed in the atriga InfoCenter (overview of claims). The debt is due for payment, whereby this agreement does not affect the due date of the claim(s).

(3) This agreement grants the debtor more time to pay the claim. In return, the creditor receives an acknowledgment that interrupts the statute of limitations and a facilitation of proof to prove the claim. By acknowledging the debt, the debtor generally loses the opportunity to assert objections and defences against the acknowledged claim that were justified at the time the debt was acknowledged (for example, the non-existence, fulfilment or limitation of the acknowledged claim). If such defenses or objections exist, they must be asserted by the debtor without delay. As a result of this acknowledgement, the claims substantiated therein are subject to a thirty-year limitation period, which begins to run at the start of the statutory limitation period. Longer statutory limitation periods shall remain unaffected, as shall the provisions on the commencement of the limitation period, suspension of expiry, suspension and recommencement of the limitation period.

(4) The acknowledgement of debt shall include the principal claim, the creditor’s dunning costs, interest, third-party expenses (e.g. costs of residents’ registration offices, credit agencies, courts, bailiffs, field services) as well as the costs of the debtor’s legal representatives.
