If a person owes you money from an enforcement title, e.g. a judgment or an enforcement order, and does not meet their payment obligation, you can commission a bailiff to enforce your monetary claim.

You can decide what the bailiff should do for you. This includes:

  • conclusion of an installment payment agreement,
  • Seizure of physical things and auction of these things,
  • Acceptance of the asset information (formerly: affidavit),
  • determination of the debtor,
  • Determination of certain information about the debtor (e.g. determination of accounts or determination of the employer)

Important notes

Please note

When a seizure and transfer decision is served, the (domicile) seat of the third-party debtor is decisive. We ask you to repeat the entry if necessary.

Inquiries can only be made in writing by post or fax. Processing by email is not possible.

The fax no. is timely.

Bailiffs have their own business premises outside the local court. The HamburgService by telephone provides information on business hours and responsibilities.
