What is a free credit sanction?
The credit sanction is an important consumer protection mechanism introduced under the Polish Consumer Credit Act of 12 May 2011. In certain cases, the sanction allows the pleading consumer to request the creditor to reimburse all credit costs incurred, leaving only the obligation to reimburse the credit amount itself.
