German term or phrase: Betreibungsauszug / -auskunft
How would you translate "Betreibungsauskünfte" or "Betreibungsauszüge into English? In Switzerland, if you want to rent an apartment, you have to supply a "Betreibungsauszug" from the local debt enforcement office.
Would "debt collection records" be ok or do you have a better solution? Thanks in advance for your help!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you! However, in Switzerland, the "Betreibungsauszug" will also list any past or current enforcement action, so I can't write "freedom from enforcement action" ... Any brilliant ideas how I could get around this problem?

extract from debt collection office / debt collection information


Explanation:
Extract from the (XX) debt collection office (for "Betreibungsregisterauszug") and
debt collection information (for "Betreibungsauskünfte") are the terms used in some municipalities of the Canton of Zug.

OR use

Extract from debt collection register,
a term used in the Swiss eGovernment Portal (ch.ch)

Notes: i) The usual (Swiss) German source term is
"Betreibungsregisterauszug"

ii) A search in admin.ch (the official site of the Swiss
Confederation) failed to yield a pertinent result. Neither
does the Jurivoc thesaurus of the Swiss Federal Supreme
Court offer an English translation or equivalent.

debt collection (history) report


Explanation:
This is not a term I've ever puzzled over, but it sounds like what you're talking about is a kind of debt collection history. Since this function is normally served by a credit report in the US, why not call it a "debt collection report" or a "debt collection history report"?
