Deadline at a glance
usually 2–4 weeks (set in the letter)
§ 1605 BGB
The duty to provide information exists; the deadline is set in the letter. Always respond — if necessary with a request for an extension.
It is an AI, not a person: nobody looks at your individual case, and we do not know who signs up or for what reason. That is why we give pointers, but no legal advice on the individual case. Guidelines and playbooks in the platform are only guardrails: the AI relies on the available sources and your information. AI can make mistakes — check important results, and if in doubt, ask a lawyer.
What you can do here in 5 minutes
A request for information (Auskunftsaufforderung) in a maintenance dispute is usually justified (§ 1605 BGB), but its scope and form are often overstated. We separate obligation from wish.
You upload the letter; we extract the deadline and the documents requested and check what you actually have to provide.
