Off topic & small talk: Do I still have to pay a Postbank claim after 30 years? (Page 2)

Well, if you emigrate or live somewhere else, then you have to cancel all contracts in DE, be it rent, electricity and just all accounts that are in your name. The thread creator has unfortunately forgotten this and the fees have continued to be booked, because the account still existed. A contract had been signed. I myself had an account with the Sparkasse with -20€ and the account was "only" blocked, but not canceled. When I had then settled the claim, the account was released for use again.

I actually do not find it brazen, since it is as said not yet "statute-barred" and even if that would be shortly before, they would still have a right to your claim.

Hey frapi07, I have to correct you for a moment. When you emigrate you don't have to cancel any contracts, you just have to adjust your address. When I emigrated to Malta, I also still had my German account at the Sparkasse for years only with the Maltese address. If the TE had informed the Postbank that he was emigrating, he would also have received mail from the bank and there would not have been the costs over time.
