Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we hear most often.
Is this legal advice?
No. Catius Documents prepares a document based on the information you give us. Your case is not reviewed legally. For an assessment of your actual chances, contact a lawyer.
How much does the Widerspruch cost?
29 EUR including VAT, one time, no subscription.
Can I object for free instead?
Yes. The official form is enclosed with your Mahnbescheid, and you can also create a barcode form for free through the justice portal. Catius Documents is a paid, convenient option, not a requirement.
When does my deadline start?
From the day the Mahnbescheid was served on you, not from the date printed on it. See Mahnbescheid deadline for details.
Can I object by email?
No. Filing by ordinary email is not legally valid. Allowed ways are by post, the enclosed form, or, for those represented by a lawyer, the special electronic mailbox for lawyers.
What happens if I do nothing?
Without a response, a Vollstreckungsbescheid can follow, and enforcement is already possible on that basis.
Can I cancel my order?
As a consumer you generally have a right of withdrawal. See Right of withdrawal for details.
