Two recent European Court decissions might give you a rest in regards to mortgage repayments:
1) First one, dated 2020, July 9th declared that those settlements between bank and consumer where the bank reduced the interest rate for the future and therefore, monthly mortgage repayment amount was lowereed too, BUT included a renounce on claiming past excessive interests can be considered null and void due to lack of transparency.
So, if you signed one of those settlements in the past and waived claims against already paid undue excessive interests, you cas now analyze the agreement and claim. We can help you to determine if, according to the criteria established by the European Court Decission, the agreement was or was not transparent.
2) Second one, dated 2020, July 16th has declared that all expenses related to mortagge set up needs to be paid by the Bank, with the exception of the Stamp Duty Tax which needs to be paid by the consumer. This same decission also states that Costs on Abusive clauses cases always need to be charged on the Bank and that the 5 years time barring deadaline is initially valid, unless cirunstances of the case show it was a too short deadline.
