35-40% of Poles think circumstances may justify arrears in debt payments

A study by Kaczmarski Inkasso reveals that about 40% of Poles believe there are valid reasons for not repaying borrowed money to individuals, while 35% hold the same view for debts to companies or institutions. These justifications include serious illness, the death of a loved one, or job loss. Conversely, 83% of respondents believe that borrowed money should be reclaimed after the agreed-upon deadline.

The National Debt Register (KRD) reports that Poland's financial situation could deteriorate, with a total debt of 45 billion PLN. Approximately 2.3 million people have unpaid obligations, encompassing loan installments, rent, utility bills, and subscriptions. Despite a declining trend in 2021, both debt levels and debtors have risen in the past year.
