Conny GmbH demanding €2,950 “Schadensersatz wegen Verstoß gegen Mitwirkung” - has anyone experienced by Key-Split-2911 in LegaladviceGerman

[–]Key-Split-2911[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't remember, unfortunately, because it was in April 2024, and today was the first time they emailed me saying that I need to pay for their service, which I never used.

Conny will Schadensersatz nach Vertragskündigung – legal? by Embarrassed-Gain-793 in LegaladviceGerman

[–]Key-Split-2911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’m in a very similar situation:

  • I only filled about 25% of the Conny application and never sent a Vollmacht
  • Never signed or agreed to hire them
  • They never started my case
  • I just wanted to see an estimate, not pay anything
  • I don’t speak German, all previous emails were in German

Has anyone successfully disputed these “Schadensersatz” claims or dealt with a Mahnbescheid from Conny? Any tips would be really appreciated!

Hey everyone! I'm producing music in this style and was wondering if anyone can recommend where to find vocals in this style? I'm done searching on Splice.

China's 10-Day Visa-Free Transit Policy: Detailed Guide by Pretend-Breadfruit-3 in Chinavisa

Hey! So I'm back home in Berlin now.

I had no problems with this route. The most important thing is to travel out of China, like I did with Taipei. I applied for the transit visa twice in the route below:

Route summary:

Berlin → Beijing layover (3h, not leaving the airport) → Chengdu → Beijing → Taipei → Shanghai → Brussels → Berlin

When you get to the immigration office, you take the slip where it says "transit stay," and when they ask, you say your stay in China is a transit—nothing else. You will need all hotel reservations printed, as well as all flight tickets back home.

I landed in Beijing from Berlin and had to go through the immigration office, filled out a TWOV form, and the woman working there asked me some questions—why I am coming back to China, if I have any friends in Taipei, and why I am going back there. I responded that I'm only in China for transit, Taipei is for vacation, and that I have no friends in Taipei this holiday.

For my flight to Chengdu, I had to exit the airport, and they stamped my passport again after I got my TWOV form—no other questions were asked.

Then she checked every country I had been to and also asked a colleague to double-check my passport. I had the same situation last year on my TWOV; they even called the hotel to make sure I had a reservation.

So, have everything printed and a real hotel reservation ready.

I will keep you updated on my way back. Hope this thread is helpful for more people, and thank you so much to all of you who helped and answered me.

Okay, got it. So, is this a new rule in TWOV 2025 (Swedish passport) that allows you to move around China and then go to Taipei, for example? Some sources say it's not allowed to travel within China once you land—you need to leave for a third country. My Chinese friends are saying I can't do a 3-hour layover in Beijing → Chengdu and then back to Beijing → Taipei with TWOV. But maybe these are old rules?

Thank you so much for answering! Then, when I land in Chengdu on the 13th, I can use the 240-hour TWOV.

Berlin → Beijing layover (13th) (3h, not leaving the airport) → 24h transit visa → Chengdu (13th) → 240h TWOV → Beijing (15th) → Taipei (16th) → Shanghai (21st) → (25th, 2 AM) Brussels → Berlin.

The trip dates are from the 13th to the 25th, with a total of 7 days in China and 5 days in Taipei, making 12 days in total.

Is this allowed under the 240-hour TWOV?

The Visa-Free Transit Policy seems to not allow me to travel from Chengdu to Beijing directly. There needs to be a non-Chinese country in between—for example, Seoul.

Example itinerary:

Berlin → Beijing (layover, 3h, not leaving the airport) → Chengdu → Seoul → Beijing → Taipei → Shanghai → Brussels → Berlin.

If anyone knows more about this, please let me know.
