A Debt Settlement Agreement helps creditors and debtors reach a formal compromise on unpaid debts under Danish law. It typically allows the debtor to pay less than the full amount owed, with the creditor agreeing to accept this reduced sum as complete payment of the debt.

These agreements follow Denmark's Debt Collection Act (Gældsinddrivelsesloven) and must include clear payment terms, settlement amounts, and deadlines. Once signed, the agreement becomes legally binding and prevents creditors from pursuing the original debt amount through the courts, provided the debtor follows the new payment plan.

Use a Debt Settlement Agreement when you need to formally resolve unpaid debts and your financial situation makes full repayment impossible. This agreement becomes especially valuable when facing multiple creditors in Denmark, as it can prevent costly legal proceedings and help avoid personal bankruptcy (konkurs).

The agreement works particularly well for businesses struggling with cash flow or individuals dealing with significant personal debt. It offers a structured path to debt resolution under Danish law, protecting both parties' interests while creating a manageable repayment plan. Many creditors prefer this approach over lengthy collection processes or court actions.

A Debt Settlement Agreement differs significantly from a Debt Assumption Agreement in both purpose and effect under Danish law. While both deal with debt obligations, they serve distinct functions in financial arrangements.

• Primary Purpose: Debt Settlement Agreements reduce and restructure existing debt obligations, while Debt Assumption Agreements transfer debt responsibility from one party to another
• Legal Effect: Settlement agreements terminate the original debt upon completion of revised terms, whereas assumption agreements maintain the original debt amount but change the responsible party
• Creditor Rights: In settlements, creditors agree to accept less than full payment, but in assumptions, they retain rights to collect the full amount from the new debtor
• Timing: Settlements typically address past-due debts, while assumptions often occur during business transfers or reorganizations
