Statute overview

About this statute

El prestamista, y a veces el intermediario de crédito, debe dar al consumidor información precontractual gratuita y suficiente antes de que asuma una obligación de crédito. Lenders and, where applicable, credit intermediaries must give the consumer individualized explanations before the contract is made. El prestamista, y a veces el intermediario de crédito, debe dar al consumidor información precontractual gratuita y con antelación suficiente antes de que asuma obligaciones. Some goods or services providers are exempt from Articles 10 to 12 if they act only as subsidiary credit intermediaries, but the lender still has to ensure the consumer gets the required precontractual information and assistance. The lender must assess the consumer’s solvency before making the credit contract, and again before a significant increase in the credit amount after the contract is changed.
