We will always collect as much of your debt as quickly as possible. You may therefore find yourself paying off your debt in several ways at once. For example, you may have different types of debt that we can collect in different ways via our technical systems.

Or, while you are repaying your debt through an instalment payment plan, it may become possible for us to transfer your debt to another system which allows us to collect the debt through your income (withholding of pay). If we can collect your debt in this way, we will do so.

We calculate how much we can withhold from your pay based on the size of your income and whether you have duties as a provider. Read more on the page Withholding of income.

You can ask for a recalculation of what you can pay if your finances have changed. Read more on the page Get a calculation of how much you can pay.

If you disagree that you owe the debt, for example because you have already paid your debt in full or in part, or have other comments about the existence or size of your debt, you can call us on +45 70 15 73 04.

If you want to write to us, see how on our contact page.

If you have already paid your debt, please attach documentation showing that payment has been made, for example in the form of a printout from your bank.

We have returned the money to you because you have paid more than you owe, or because we could not use your payment on the debt within the 12-month deadline, due to unresolved debt.

Read more about this on the Unresolved debt page.

You will get the money back if it turns out that you have paid a higher amount than the total sum of your debt. If you have paid too much, the money will be credited to your NemKonto.

If you do not pay, you risk that we withhold part of your income in order to pay your debt. We can also use your overpaid tax to pay off your debt.

You can read about how we can collect your debt on the If you fail to pay your debt page.

No, as a general rule you cannot do this. Your payment is used to reduce the debt items in a specific sequence determined by law.

In special circumstances, however, we can give permission for your payment to be used to pay off a particular debt. If you want to pay off a particular debt, you need to apply for permission from us. See how to contact us on the Contact page.

No, you are not notified automatically. You must call us on +45 70 15 73 04 if you want to know more about your debt and how we use your payment.

No, you do not receive a receipt afterwards. Your payment works in the same way as when you pay a bill via online banking. You can call us on +45 70 15 73 04 if you want to know how we allocate the money and to get more information about your debt.
