My friend stop paying mobile phone installement

Contract will be terminated and outstanding installments become due immediately at once

​@salov can o2 or other company in germany block or blacklist his phone imei or not ? 

What do you mean by blacklisting the IMEI?

​@bs0 blacklist mean blocking the imei , if he is unable to pay the installement can o2 block his imei ? due to unpaid bill , iphone manufacturer

​@bs0 

Er möchte glaube ich wissen, ob das iPhone gesperrt wird und nicht mehr nutzbar ist, wenn die Raten nicht mehr gezahlt werden. 

​@Bollermann  das wäre ne Idee, die ich befürworten würde ... aber leider macht man das m.W.n. nicht 

​@Bollermann that what im asking , but on this forum iv read multiple post that o2 dont block or blacklist imei they just terminage and block the sim service

that what i told my friend to payoff the bill on right time before getting into schufa list

​@Sächsin because o2 dont block imei , or blacklist , they only do in one scenario if the mobile got snatch you and put the police complain , i think is that true or not , you are experts you have better knowledge

In Germany IMEI blocking will not be just from provider.

Typically, a debt collection agency will first collect the money. If that fails, an attempt will be made to obtain an enforceable title through the courts. Finally, there's the possibility of entries being made in, for example, the Schufa credit reporting agency.

With luck he will get no credit or a new mobile contract.

​@mhabeast Correct. o2 will not block the IMEI. They will first cancel the credit agreement and request immediate payment in full. If payment is not forthcoming, they will simply pass the debt to a debt collection agency, which may ultimately take the case to court. The payment default will most likely lead to a negative Schufa entry and problems obtaining credit in the future.

​@bs0 ​@schluej yeah that what im asking about , i have told the same thing to my friend , that your imei will be safe for entire life , but you may face many consequences in further life which will be on your head for your unpaid debt…

which may lead you the the negative schufa and negative credit for future you will never get any contract neither any sim on contract

thanks in advance for all your precious reply

​@o2_Daniela just a few thing i want to ask is that

do o2 have enough authority to block/blacklist the imei for unpaid phone contract bill ? like contract of phone 

​@mhabeast 

no, there is no option like this. I just wonder if you signed the contract in your name and gave the phone to your friend hoping he/she will pay just in time?

You are quite engaged in this question so it seems you are feared of the consequences.

Greetings

​@o2_Manga no its not my contract , im just asking all the stuff and question behalf of my friend.

all i know is that o2 can report to schufa about the late payment but i dont know about the imei block or blacklist

​@o2_Daniela yeah i heard about debt collection agency , conveyed further same as i receive 

thanks
