You can also request that your personal data be limited or, in certain instances, completely erased.
You may submit your request verbally or in writing, and the company is required to provide the data or confirm its restriction or deletion within one month from the date of the request.
Reasons to limit a bailiff company's use of or remove your personal data
The bailiff company is not permitted to charge a fee, except in cases where the request is deemed unfounded, excessive, or if further copies are requested., or the request is for further copies.
You might be required to confirm your identity, unless the request originates from, and the response is intended to be delivered to the debtor by name at the identical address as the enforcement address specified in the bailiff company's documentation.
Requesting identification does not extend the one-month period within which the bailiff company must provide the response.
