FAQSOLUS registers

What are the conditions for inclusion into the Register FO (Register of natural persons) and Register IC (Register of Legal Persons and Entrepreneurs)?

Consumers not meeting their obligations relating to the activity of at least one Member of the SOLUS Association  involved in the activity of SOLUS Negative Registers are included into the Register FO or Register IC. We can find the up-to-dateist list of Member companies.

The criterion for initial inclusion into the Register of consumers is the fact that a consumer is in delay with fulfillment of his liabilities from a credit, leasing or another agreement, from which financial obligation after maturity arose to him towards the creditor and this delay lasts for a set period.

Is there any criterion of minimum debt amount for inclusion into the SOLUS Registers? Is a debt of, for example, 30 CZK, included into the Register?

The minimum debt amount for initial inclusion info the SOLUS Negative Registers (Register FO and Register IC) is 500 CZK.

Will I be included into the SOLUS Negative Registers in the case I forgot to pay one leasing installment or invoice for telephone services?

Recording to the Register FO or Register IC is realized by the member company of the SOLUS Association usually after 3 consecutive unpaid installments (In the case of telecomunications it is delay, that takes 3 unpaid invoices or 3 months from the maturity date of unpaid invoice).

At the begining of the contract it is possible to record a debtor into the Registers SOLUS after two unpaid installments and at the end of the contract in the case of one last unpaid installment. The member company can record its client also in case of cancellation of contract due to default on the part of the client.

In every case the time of delay is not less than 30 days.

For how long is the information kept in the Register FO and Register IC?

The Register FO and the Register IC gather negative information about clients which are not interested in fulfilment or are not able to fulfil their liabilities. The Register FO and The Register IC contain only information, which is necessary for client identification and the information about the breach of the obligation to repay.

The Register FO and the Register IC do not include any kind of sensitive personal information, nor other subsidiary information like information about the client´s income. Pursuant to the request into the Negative Registers the only information which the member company receives is the identification of the client (this information they already had) and the information about the debt or it´s repayment. The information about the repayment is kept in the register for three years after the end of the delay.

In case of electronic communications services and energy supply services for the period of the client’s delay with the payment of his / her obligations and one year after the end of the delay.
