I am currently concerned about how to best contact my creditors. I want to ensure that they are informed about the situation and can correctly submit their claims. At the same time, I also want to ensure that I am not unreasonably harassed or put in uncomfortable situations.
Therefore, my question to you is: How can I best contact my creditors to inform them about the insolvency and settle any possible claims? What options and communication channels are available to me to ensure a professional and fair relationship with my creditors?
I would be very grateful if you could help me navigate this difficult situation as best as possible. Thank you in advance for your support.

Dear Mr. Seebauer,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding dealing with creditors in the insolvency process. It is understandable that you are striving to maintain a professional and fair relationship with your creditors in this difficult situation. I am happy to assist you and would like to provide you with some tips and recommendations on how to best contact your creditors and ensure a smooth handling of their claims.
First and foremost, it is important that you inform your creditors about the insolvency as early as possible. This can be done best in writing through an insolvency application letter, in which you inform the creditors about the opening of the insolvency proceedings and its implications for them. In this letter, you should also provide your contact information so that creditors know who to contact with questions or concerns.
Furthermore, you can also establish personal contact with the creditors to clarify any open questions or provide further information. For example, you can make phone calls or arrange personal meetings to explain the situation and discuss possible claims. It is important to communicate transparently and openly in order to build trust and avoid misunderstandings.
You can also send written information to the creditors, such as circular letters or updates on the status of the insolvency proceedings. This can help keep creditors informed about the progress and make them feel well taken care of.
Regarding any inappropriate harassment or uncomfortable situations from the creditors, it is important to adhere to the insolvency regulations, which provide clear rules for dealing with creditors. If you are being harassed or pressured, you can contact me as a lawyer to take legal action and protect your interests.
In summary, an open, transparent, and professional approach to dealing with creditors in the insolvency process is crucial to ensure a smooth handling of the claims. I am available for further questions or concerns and wish you success in dealing with your insolvency.
Best regards,
Emma Fischer
