  • Zagadnienie prawne

    In the event of termination of the credit agreement - which is a consumer credit within the meaning of the Act of 12 May 2011 on consumer credit - as a result of a termination made by the lender in connection with arrears in repayment of the credit, the benefit included in the agreement constituting the remuneration for granting the credit, to which payment to the lender is obligated by the borrower, referred to as "commission fee" or "commission", is a non-interest credit cost, which is reduced and adjusted to the duration of the contract, in accordance with the formula set out in Article 36a (1) of the Consumer Credit Act? In relation to the credit agreement, which is a consumer credit agreement within the meaning of the Act of 12 May 2011 on consumer credit, the benefit defined in it as "commission fee" or "commission" constituting the remuneration for granting the credit, to be paid on the benefit of the lender, is main subject matter within the meaning of Art. 3851 § 1 sentence 2 of the Civil Code? If the amount of non-interest credit costs included in a credit agreement concluded with a consumer, which is a consumer credit agreement within the meaning of the Act of 12 May 2011 on consumer credit, does not exceed the maximum limit specified in art. 36a of this Act, is it permissible to examine the provisions of the contract providing for components of non-interest credit costs and their amount from the point of view of the prohibited contractual provisions referred to in Art. 3851 § 1 of the Civil Code?

  • Decyzja

    The fact that the non-interest costs of the consumer credit do not exceed the amount specified in art. 36a paragraph. 1 and 2 of the Act of 12 May 2011 on consumer credit (currently, i.e. Journal of Laws of 2019, item 1083 as amended), does not exclude the assessment of whether the provisions specifying these costs are prohibited (Article 3851 § 1 of the Civil Code). Contractual provisions specifying consumer credit costs other than interest, e.g. lender's commissions, may be considered abusive even if their amount does not exceed the maximum amounts of such costs specified in Art. 36a paragraph. 1 and 2 of the Act of May 12, 2011, on consumer credit.
