Frequently asked questions
What data sources does Skuldra have?
Skuldra currently handles information from all debt collection agencies under the supervision of the Swedish Data Protection Authority (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten), excluding self-collection cases.
Queries can also be sent to Trafikförsäkringsföreningen, CSN, Försäkringskassan, and Skattemyndigheten.
How does Skuldra retrieve information?
Skuldra utilizes three methods for information retrieval:
1. Automated retrieval from debt collection agencies and other creditors via API.
2. Web-based information gathering, where creditors respond securely through a form in the service.
3. Manual entry, primarily for supplementing information received via mail or other means.
Why use Skuldra's service when the Skri register is forthcoming?
The proposed Skri register, as outlined in the SOU2023:38 investigation, only covers financial credits and collection cases from financial credits. Our estimates suggest that only 10-20% of all debt collection debts will be included in the proposed register. Skuldra's service provides a comprehensive overview of all debts for a private debtor, complementing the upcoming Skri register.
