The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 7-9. The population register authority's duty to provide information about the debtor (skyldneren)
What does this mean?
The enforcement authorities need information about the debtor to process the case. The National Population Register must give them what is necessary, even if the information is otherwise subject to the duty of confidentiality.
The rule is the last one in chapter 7 and comes after § 7-8. It applies only to what the enforcement authorities need for tasks under this Act. In other words, the National Population Register cannot refuse by referring to the duty of confidentiality, but must assess what is actually necessary. The rule ensures that the enforcement authorities have a sound factual basis, for example when they need to check what the debtor has stated.
