# Retrieve Debtor Details
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/payment-acceptance-api/documentation/use-cases/retrieve-debtor-details/index.md

The Retrieve Debtor Details process allows a Creditor Agent to fetch registered Debtor information from Commercial Direct Payments (CDP). The Creditor Agent submits a request using the Debtor profile identifier, CDP validates that the identifier exists in its directory, and then returns the corresponding Debtor details in the response.

This optional endpoint returns information on the Debtor currently registered with CDP that you want to receive payment instructions from. The response includes the following information:

* Debtor Profile ID
* Business name
* Address
* Status

This information allows verification that payment instructions are being received from the correct Debtor.
