Your progress0 of 5 Steps
01

Identify account/property

Match account, address, holder and periods against the demand through verified channels.
What should you prepare?

Demand and agreement.

Please note

A previous holder or nearby property is not the same debt.

03

Compare payments and changes

Check credits, discounts and holder changes and identify unallocated payments or wrong periods.
What should you prepare?

Receipts and holder-change proof.

Please note

Notifying the landlord does not update the municipality.

04

Distinguish enquiry and objection

Ask billing about allocation; for assessment data use the formal objection route and deadline.
What should you prepare?

Specific issue.

Please note

A general enquiry does not automatically suspend collection.
