Among other things, these statistics serve as a basis for political action.

In this context, the Federal Statistical Office collects annual over-indebtedness statistics. This reports on the situation of over-indebted people and people at risk of over-indebtedness in Germany. For example, it asks about the causes of financial hardship. The aim of the survey is to understand how over-indebtedness among private individuals can be avoided or resolved.

The Federal Statistical Office relies on data from debtor or insolvency advice centers for this survey. The survey is carried out among centres in Germany that are run by welfare and consumer associations, municipal associations and other public bodies or that are recognized as non-profit organizations or registered as associations.

The transmission of anonymized data from your institution for the over-indebtedness statistics is voluntary. Before you transmit the data to the Federal Statistical Office, you need the consent of the people seeking advice who are depicted in the statistical data.

The data transmission works via software with an interface that automatically extracts the data from your software systems and transmits it to the Federal Statistical Office.
