Claims

If customers do not agree with the processing of their request for the Code of Good Practice, they can submit a claim.

To do so, they will have to follow the claim procedure.

  • The bank did not adequately advertise or communicate the Code of Good Practice.
  • Once the request is submitted, the bank rejects it because it does not consider that the mortgagor meets the exclusion threshold or that the house price meets the established limit.
  • The institution does not give reasons for rejecting the customer's request or does not specify the data taken into account.
  • The debtor meets the exclusion threshold, but the institution has not prepared a restructuring plan.
  • The conditions of the restructuring plan presented by the institution are not in line with the conditions necessarily imposed by the Code of Good Practice.
  • The institution does not communicate the unfeasibility of the restructuring plan or the successive measures of the Code of Good Practice: debt reduction and the dation in payment of the main residence.
  • In the case of dation in payment of the main residence, the institution does not communicate this measure or another transaction is arranged outside the Code of Good Practice.
  • The measures of the Code are not applied to the transaction’s sureties and guarantors that meet the requirements.

In addition, there is always the possibility of going to court.
