Broadcasting fee: Paying in installments – formally correct and convincing

What does this legal document offer you?

With this letter, you apply for a fair installment payment from the Contribution Service (ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio) if you cannot pay an additional payment at once – formally correct, clearly formulated and without a lawyer.
Whether you have already received a contribution notice or want to act proactively to avoid reminder fees or enforcement: This document is prepared for both cases.

Ideal for:

• People with high additional claims for the broadcasting fee
• Students, low-income earners and the self-employed with financial difficulties
• Proactive applicants without an official decision
• Households that want to meet payment deadlines but need to be relieved

You regulate:

• Whether a decision has already been made or you are acting as a precaution
• The desired monthly installment amount and the start of payment
• A comprehensible and binding formulation vis-à-vis the contribution service
• A polite request to defer payment – as a gesture of goodwill and with legal certainty

Apply for payment in installments now – before outstanding contributions turn into an enforcement case.
