About this statute

This provision says the law applies to credit servicing companies and credit buyers, and that companies carrying out credit servicing activities must have authorisation from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority. A credit service company must have governance, internal controls, complaint handling, and—if it receives and holds borrower funds—use a separate bank account, protect those funds, give a receipt or release letter, and state in its application if it does not plan to hold borrower funds. An application for authorisation must include the information and documents needed for Finanstilsynet’s assessment, and Finanstilsynet must assess completeness within 45 working days and notify the applicant within 90 days in the stated situations. People running a credit service company must meet fitness and integrity requirements, notify Finanstilsynet of relevant facts, and the company must comply with recordkeeping, outsourcing, complaint-handling, and cross-border notification rules. Kreditinstitutter skal give en potentiel kreditkøber nødvendige oplysninger om en misligholdt kreditaftale og, når det er relevant, sikkerhedsstillelse. Visse kreditinstitutter skal også to gange årligt oplyse Finanstilsynet om overførsel af sådanne rettigheder eller aftaler.
