Who is the law firm "Auer Witte Thiel"?

The law firm "Auer Witte Thiel" is legal practice based in Munich, Germany. The name "Auer Witte Thiel" is made up of the surnames of the founders: Dr. Wolfgang Auer, Karl-Ulrich Witte and Andreas Thiel. There is therefore not a single lawyer called "Auer Witte Thiel". Unfortunately, it is often difficult to determine which lawyer from the firm has written to you, as the postal demands are often only signed "Rechtsanwalt" (lawyer), and the signature is often illegible making the name unrecognisable. The payment demands sent via E-mail also generally do not mention the sender specifically by name. Such payment demands are frequently sent from the E-mail address “inkasso@auerwittethiel.de”.

I have also received a payment demand from Fairmount GmbH. How is this connected?

It is often the case that those affected initially receive reminders from Fairmount GmbH. In most cases, the demands from the dating portals are sent in stages. Firstly, reminders are sent by e-mail directly from the accounting department of the dating sites. If there is no response, reminders are then sent by Fairmount GmbH. If payment is still not made, lawyers Auer Witte Thiel are then instructed to start collection of the demand. However, there are also cases in which both Fairmount GmbH and Auer Witte Thiel are in contact simultaneously. Different amounts are then demanded and it can become incredibly difficult to maintain an overview because different reference numbers are frequently used for the same demand.

What claims do the lawyers Auer Witte Thiel make against me in their demands for payment?

The lawyers at Auer Witte Thiel usually state in their letters which company has retained them. The firm's lawyers are often retained by a variety of dating platform operators.

The letter states that the debtor has not yet responded to payment requests from the platform operator or the commissioned debt collection agency. Therefore, Auer Witte Thiel has now been instructed to enforce the debt itself, if necessary, through the courts and with compulsory foreclosure measures.





The letter also explains that the debitor has taken out a fee-based subscription with an online dating site. The chosen username, email address and IP address of the device used to set up this subscription have been officially documented. Additionally, the affected person is asked to pay the subscription fee owed to the dating site as well as the often exorbitant legal fees incurred because of the involvement of Auer Witte Thiel. At the end of the letter, pressure is also added through the reference to further costs should the demanded amount not be paid by a certain deadline.

Is the matter completely settled as soon as I pay the requested amount to the law firm?

In our experience, the problem is often that those affected do not know exactly what amount they are being asked to pay. This is particularly the case when several letters are received regarding the same debt with varying reference numbers. However, if you want to solve the problem by paying the outstanding amount, you should also take into consideration that Auer Witte Thiel's demands are often made on behalf of a dating portal that the operates using a rolling subscription model.

So even if the initial demand is paid to the lawyers, the subscription often continues to renew if not properly terminated. The risk of further reminders in the future is therefore very real.

Are Auer Witte Thiel's claims legitimate or can I simply ignore them?

As a general rule of thumb, it is not advisable to ignore payment demands from Auer Witte Thiel. Unfortunately, however, it is not possible to make a general assessment of whether Auer Witte Thiel's requests for payment are justified, as each case must be evaluated individually.

If no response to Auer Witte Thiel payment demands is given and the debt demanded is not paid, the law firm will continue to send written correspondence to the debtor’s address. These letters are usually sent at regular intervals of a few days or weeks. The demanded payments can become increasingly larger, as the underlying rolling subscription with the dating site will continue as long as it is not properly terminated.
