Key legal question
Whether the debt enforcement office may charge fees for pickup invitations sent in connection with service of a payment order.
Extracted holding
No. A pickup invitation is not a legally required official act and does not create a fee claim, regardless of whether it is sent before, during, or after the service attempts.
Extracted reasoning
The Supreme Court held that the form and timing of the invitation are irrelevant. Since there is no statutory basis for charging for this preparatory step, neither a fee under the tariff nor expenses may be billed.
