Abusive Lending Contract Clauses


Lending is the engine of the current socio-political system, so abusive clauses in credit agreements jeopardize the stability of the system, especially since the forced executions of debt collectors are based on these abusive clauses banks.

Society works through credit and debt, which is why the activity of banks and NFIs, which use abusive clauses, is a criminal one for the future of capitalism.

Banks and NFIs took advantage of their status, forcing customers to sign contracts. Their policy, throughout the years 2005 - 2016, was simple and dictatorial:

You receive the money if you sign the contract, ready written and prepared by us. You do NOT sign the contract, as it has been written and used in thousands of cases, you do not receive the money from us.

In these conditions, there were and there are situations in which the credit officers did not know and did not understand the abusive clauses in the credit agreements.

You had no one to ask and nothing to ask, because there is no real discussion about what can happen in case of an impossibility to repay the loan.

What is worse is the lack of financial education that the Bank or the IFN had to provide to the borrower in the case of those loans for acquisitions.

Like the icing on the cake, the forced executions of debt collectors, buy receivables / loans with 3% of the value. Start on the basis and under these abusive clauses of banks.
