§ 2-2. The enforcement officer's duty to give guidance

The enforcement officer shall ensure that the debtor receives the guidance the debtor needs to be able to carry out a debt negotiation (gjeldsforhandling), draw up a debt settlement proposal (forslag til gjeldsordning) that lies within the limits of the Act, and, where applicable, petition for compulsory debt settlement (tvungen gjeldsordning).
The enforcement officer shall make sure that the debtor has understood how the proposed debt settlement (gjeldsordning) is to be carried out. If the proposal is not drawn up as mentioned in § 4-2 third paragraph first sentence, the enforcement officer shall ensure the necessary follow-up and monitoring of how the debt settlement is carried out.

What does this mean?

The section requires the enforcement officer to guide the debtor. The guidance must make it possible to carry out the debt negotiation, prepare a proposal within the limits of the Act and, if relevant, request compulsory debt settlement. The enforcement officer must also make sure that the debtor has understood how the settlement is to be carried out. If the proposal is not set up as described in § 4-2 third paragraph first sentence, the enforcement officer must follow up and monitor how it is carried out.

The section is in chapter 2, between the application (søknad) in § 2-1 and the duty to investigate in § 2-3. The enforcement officer may let an assistant (medhjelper) give the guidance, see § 2-4.
