How do we carry out our mission?

We carry out our mission by seeing to it that a person or entity that is entitled to being paid gets paid. Government agencies, municipalities, companies and private individuals all apply for our help in getting paid.

We also provide support to persons or entities that have to pay their debts, ensuring that payments are made in a legally certain way. This includes working preventively, offering debt restructuring, and providing assistance in disputes that don’t involve payments, e g in connection with evictions.

We never take a position for or against any of the parties involved.

What else do we do?

We do many other things. Here are some examples of our other tasks:

• A person who is heavily indebted can apply for debt restructuring with us.We provide support so that the indebted person can get back to a life without debt.
• We collaborate with various government agencies, companies and organisations in order to reduce the number of over-indebted people, i e those with more or less permanent problems paying their debts.
• We audit receivers’ management of bankruptcies.
• We work to increase knowledge about personal finances among young people and adults.
• We are involved when a tenant who has not paid their rent is going to be evicted.
• We are an authority with considerable expertise in the effects of indebtedness, for society as well as for the individual person. We support and finance both our own and external research in order to increase our knowledge.
