Negative BKR Credit Records

Negative BKR Credit Records

Assessing accuracy, proportionality and possible correction.

An adverse credit registration may limit access to a mortgage or other financing. Not every negative entry is unlawful or removable. A sound request therefore needs an individual review of the data, the relevant rules and the specific consequences.

01

Matters we can assess

  • Checking the accuracy, age and legal basis of a BKR record.
  • Reviewing notice requirements and relevant registration procedures.
  • Requests for correction or removal and balancing of interests.
  • Examining court options after refusal or where urgent action is needed.
02

Legal assessment

We assess the record under the applicable credit-register rules and data protection principles. Repayment history, elapsed time, current financial stability and the impact of the registration may be relevant. Any procedural route and deadline must be checked for the particular circumstances.
