The Federal court of justice in Karlsruhe: Savers charges may require back – TIME ONLINE

Savers who have paid for the use of your loan for a fee, you must hope to get your money refunded. The Federal court of justice (BGH) declared such clauses in home loan and savings contracts are inadmissible, because they deprived the customers inappropriately. The loan fee, when Savers take the credit – in addition to the interest. How many customers have a repayment of the fees of up to two percent of the loan amount, is unclear. Who can demand that his Bausparkasse money back, depends on the periods of limitation in a particular case.

In the output case, had requested the Bausparkasse Schwäbisch-Hall in addition to the closing fee and the interest rates for a home savings loan at disbursement of the loan plus a loan fee in the amount of two percent of the loan amount. The Bank Senate of the BGH took the view that this fee for the sole purpose of “withholding” the administrative burden on building societies. The building societies are not likely to pass on the thus, in the self-interest fees therefore to their customers.

The Supreme court had already declared 2014 with this Argument, consumer loan fees from the banks for unlawful. At the time of sentencing, the presiding judge stressed in regards to the decision of the time, that between consumer loans and home savings loans there is no legal specifics. To the extent that administrative costs not customers passed on, but would rather “be priced in”.

The Bausparkasse Schwäbisch-Hall the fees for the Loan slash your spokesman reported about 15 years ago. These fees are calculated from the “transparency reasons” since the level of interest rates, he said after the hearing. In two other cases also the defendant building and loan Association Bausparkasse Wüstenrot had agreed last week with the plaintiffs out of court to avoid a Supreme court judgment.

How many borrowers could now be entitled to a refund of separately stated loan charges, is unclear. Christian Urban by the consumer advice centre of North Rhine-Westphalia referred to the time limits on the different Statute of limitations. In the case of the “consumers’ most hostile interpretation” applies to a three-year limitation period.

The period begins with the end of the year in which the consumer becomes aware of his claim. This means with a view to the Supreme court ruling from Tuesday that all of the lender fees from 1. January 2014, were paid until the end of the year back could be required.

The deadline, however, could also extend up to ten years back. This, the Supreme court had decided in October 2014 in the case of unauthorized credit charges. Such a long Statute of limitations applies as in the former case, then, if the law was for lawyers unclear and “Supreme court” rulings repayment had denied the claims before. In such cases, consumers can’t be expected to raise within the short limitation period of three years of action. To expressed of this issue, the Supreme court in its judgment of Tuesday, but still.
