EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PRIVATE INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

Insolvency

The personal insolvency proceedings end after three years of being debt-free. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation! Personal insolvency is an option provided by the Insolvency Code to become debt-free within three years. During the insolvency proceedings, the debtor retains at least an allowance of €1,340.00 per month, which they can freely dispose of. This allowance is increased if you have maintenance obligations such as a spouse and/or children. If your income is above the exempt amount, the attachable portion is transferred and benefits the creditors. Private insolvency proceedings are open to all debtors who are not or have not been self-employed. Formerly self-employed debtors have the option of using consumer insolvency proceedings if they have fewer than 20 creditors at the time of filing for insolvency and there are no claims from former employment relationships. If you have fulfilled your obligations, you will receive residual debt discharge after three years. This means that from this moment on you are free of debt again and can lead a carefree life.
